[Ep 110] [Book Recommendation] The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman

Stop with me for a moment and consider how many decisions you make every single day.

What clothes to wear.What to eat for breakfast. For lunch. For supper.How to spend your time at work.What gets cleaned that day at home.What time to go to the grocery store, how to get there, and which items to buy and which ones to pass on.Whether to answer that phone call, or that text message, or that email.And if to answer, what to say in response.Whether to let the kids work out their argument on their own or whether you need to step in—and if so, how to do so in a good way.

And those are just some of the little, everyday, ordinary sort of decisions we make.

What about the big ones, like where to work, or how to school our children, or who to marry, or what to drive?

It can get overwhelming really fast. And that’s why discernment and having support as you make these kinds of decisions can be so crucial.

That’s why I recommend Emily P. Freeman’s book, The Next Right Thing.
