PalePurple Both are actually perilous. No matter which way you take there will always be trials and consequences along the way. Trust your instinct. God has given us wisdom as shield to things that we will encounter along the way.

PalePurple Not really mad, but it made me sad if the turnout of what I have planned for so long did not materialize or the adverse effect surfaced. But at the end of the day I will just shrugged by shoulder and say "Let's do this one more time." and smile.
