stand and don't blink

What does it mean when a decision stares you in the face and you blink? I make decisions everyday, but I always "blink." Sometimes I think that it's just me taking time to be sure, other times I think it's because I'm unsure and unreliable. I want to be sure, at the same time I know that indecision can make the worst decision for you if you let it. It's a simple analogy, a benign daily occurance, but this situation has implications for much more in life.
-God I pray I stand on your principles daily and when looked in the eye by evil I stare back ever resolute in your promises and righteousness. I'm in a new world of different, but similar patterns of evil- new challenges to me that are nothing new under the sun. God here I stand with you-don't let me stand alone. Bring up others to stand with me in Christ Jesus. Amen. Psalm 119:29 & Proverbs 23:17,18.

Landing

So i just got here in Costa Rica! No problems or hiccups with the travel and my roommate is cool and my family is very kind. "Mama y Papa" as they like to be called are very kind and so far i understand most of what they are saying! I'm still a bit nervous about everything but I will just trust in the Lord to calm my nerves. Blessings on you all!
Proverbs 23:17-18
"Do not let our heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is surely a future hope for you and your hope will not be cut off."
