With every decision comes consequences. I know that most of the time we don't get to choose the consequences we get but I think it's fair to say that sometimes we can predict what they will be.
Here is where it gets tricky. I recently made the decision to do something that would end up hurting 2 people in my life. I weighed it out in my mind for a few days so I didn't do anything rash. I determined that it was for the greater good and that it had to be done. I knew what the consequences would be and I decided I could live with the fallout because I had to.
I did it and found out that I was mistaken in my thinking. I still stand by what I did though because it was quite literally, a life or death situation. I took it like a man (so to speak) and apologized profusely for the damage I had done, knowing it can never really be undone.
The fallout for me has been a lot of turmoil. I know I did what was right but in a very wrong way. I did not handle it at all like my Savior would have and that is the agony I am in right now. I hate the moments in life when you realize you are not a very good person. It hurts.
Maybe next time I will take a little more time to really consider how He would handle it. I am sure that those consequences don't hurt nearly as bad.

Dear Kelly, You ARE a wonderful person. And one (of several) reason why I love you and want to be more like you is because you try daily to be like our Savior and do what He would do. You know the saying, "He never said it would be easy, He only said it would be worth it"? And I'm sure you've been told we'll never be perfect, but it is our goal is to try our hardest, make mistakes, amends and try not to do it again.
I love you, even if you aren't perfect today. :) Hugs! Wait, maybe you need cookies instead?!
