It is hard to decide to do the right thing. I agonized over my decision for days, not wanting to submit to the promptings of the Lord. When I finally acquiesced, I I found more peace and calm.

I know what you mean! When I told my family I was continuing to stand for our M, they thought I was crazy. But now over time they realize why I made that decision and respect it a lot more by seeing what God has done so far.

I think part of how we know we're in His will is the peace we receive. In the midst of uncertainity, when I aligned myself with God, I was overwhelmed with strength and peace. It's a great feeling, isn't it? :-)
