My son and I were reading over a math review on multiples of 10. The instructions seemed funny to me in that they said to, "isolate the facts and then adding the zeros". Referring to the numbers other than zero as the facts and making the zero seem like no big deal. When it's the zeros that give the value. After all the it's the zeros on the end of a check that can make all the difference. Later that day I found myself still mulling over the idea of how isolating the facts made the math quick and simple. I found myself asking, if this is true for math how could it related to problems in life? Could it work the same way?

Well life, as it often does quickly gave me the perfect chance to test it out.

I had become a bit overwhelmed while facing some choices for the salon and my thoughts were more focused on the "zeroes" of the situation. The what ifs started to get the better of me. What if I make a wrong move? What if I go in a direction that's not what God has for me? What if it's not Gods time for this?  I was reminded of the math work. The application looked something like this.

I had to first ask what are the facts here? For me it was two fold.
