Decisions, decisions, decisions.
I have faced situations where I agonized over decisions I had to make, and moments when the magnitude of what was in front of me felt overwhelming. What did I do? My default reaction was to disconnect until I could deal with whatever was weighing on me.
I often describe these as my Red Sea moments, or my Jordan crossing experiences.
When I look at those scriptures, I realize that in each of those situations, something had to be done to move forward. At the Red Sea, Moses had to stretch out his staff. At the Jordan, the priests had to step into the river.
And this is important, the Jordan was overflowing its banks at the time. Yet they still chose to obey, and as they did, the next step was revealed. The river parted, and they were able to cross over on dry ground.
That order matters. They moved first, and then the way opened.
Sometimes we face decisions where the outcome looks impossible and we cannot see how it will work. This is not the time to disconnect. This is the time to identify the immediate step that we can take, not the action that depends on others, but the part that is ours.
You don’t need the full picture to move. You simply need your next step.
So the question becomes:
👉 What decision can I take now that will move me forward?
Even if it is just one step, as long as it is forward, it matters. And once that step is taken, clarity begins to follow. That is when you can then ask: "What is the next step I am responsible for?"
The goal here is not perfection. It is movement. Forward movement.
