Sometimes the people we meet are the test...
Maybe always?
The universe presents ideas to us to decide what to do with, I believe. It is up to us to tke that risk of making a decision. A wrong decision is simply one that leads to more tests, more opportunities to find out what works, what doesn't. And a few real botches to keep us humble!

This is exactly where my thoughts have been lately... and thanks for the great response! I think for me I'm sort of at the point where I am starting to believe I'm old enough to take care of myself... that I'm responsible enough to move past that... but there is this part of me that is a little scared to -- a little part of me that wonders... "What if I'm wrong....." But even daily I'm starting to see changes within myself as far as confidence and self-sufficiency go. It is hard though... when I was in high school, I had a pastor who would constantly say "you shouldn't have ANY self esteem... you should have God's esteem.... you shouldn't be self sufficient... you should be totally dependent on God." I know where he was going with that... but as a conscientious teen... I took it to heart, but I think it has done me more harm than good, because what it did was teach me that my own instincts about life... my own feelings about myself weren't valid... sooo here I am now trying to remedy all the restrictions I've put on myself through the years and HOPEFULLY not feel guilty about it!
