How Do I Know if I Made the Wrong Choice?

Each day of our lives we make countless decisions. Many of them have small consequences, good or bad. But what about the BIG decisions we make, like what career to be in, who to marry, or what vocation to follow?
Today Fr. Mike delves into the four principles surrounding our vocational discernment and what to do if we feel like we've made the "wrong decision" in that area of our lives.

My road led me to pain but also learned alot from this pain. Though this hard life I learned my sins put me in this painful path. I also learned that even though I messed up this road block has gotten me closer to Him. I had a destination but He has The destination. So for a few months I struggle accepting this. I cried suffered but after much prayer, bible eucharist He just told me let go. So He basically said I am control. You worry about the present I will worry about your future. So I decided for now Lord each day I will live in present and not worrying where you want me to be. Fir if you are in control then you will get me there.

Psalm 34 v 18 ' The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit'. Praying for you Fr Mike everyday. I also came across these few lines from Anna Frank. 'The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy, is to go outside. Somewhere they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God, because only then does one feel that all is as it should be, and that God wishes to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, as surely as it will, I know then that there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be, and I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.'
