The next day I woke up to a message from her that said, "I understand how you feel, but I don't want you to make an emotional decision. Think this through, pray through, and get a word from God about the next step you plan to take". Trust me, if you have ever felt this way, this is the last thing you want to hear. Somewhere deep down, I knew that emotional decisions aren't always the best.

Most times we are tempted to make decisions based on our emotions, which include anger, love, and excitement. Do you remember King Herod in the Bible, who was so excited and told the little girl dancer "Herodias's daughter" to ask for anything, even the half of his kingdom (such an excitement)? She asked for the head of John. I am almost certain he never imagined such a request. The King must have felt terrible afterwards.

Although emotional decisions might not be completely bad, I am reminded to be very critical and also pray through before making certain life defining decisions. Being very critical and open-minded when making decisions can't be underestimated. 

So yeah, before you commit to that decision, check to see if it's an emotional decision. I love to read your thoughts in the comment section.
