What is the best direction from here? I don't have a clue. Can you imagine if this was someone without a a boat who had to decide where to turn? I couldn't begin to tell you what lies beneath the surface of the water. I don't know how deep it is. And the worst part...it looks like I'm alone.
Seems like the conversations that I keep getting into have something to do with 'what's the plan?' or 'Which way do I go?' or 'What does God want me to do?'.
Well, I have asked that question many times. You know what amazes me? I don't think I have gotten the CLARITY that I would have liked to have had. I guess the only 2 decisions that I knew beyond any doubt was that I needed to follow Jesus and I needed Ms. Dawn to be my wife. Past that, I have done a lot of comfortable guessing. Not guessing like...hoping that the next card thrown will get me close to 21 without going over. But the kind of guessing that goes like this. I sense something. I can't tell you the details. I only know that I sense God wanting me. I sense Him driving me toward something. I sense it without knowing the details myself. Sometimes, it's bigger than me. Bigger than what I can do. Basically, it's something possibly that could be so big, that without God, I WILL FAIL.
It doesn't start that big. And I couldn't tell you how big it even is. I only know that God wants me somewhere doing something that displays His glory and His love for us. That's it. What if I decide that until I know what the plan is, I am not moving. I do that. Sometimes I wait because I don't have enough information. I wait because it isn't planned out and God knows I don't need anyone else thinking that I fly by the seat of my pants.
What right do I have to expect the Creator of all things to go over the plan with me as though He needed my approval before I am willing to say 'I'm in!'.
Something on your horizon is big. God wants you to sense it. He is waiting. He is waiting for you to trust. Trust Him by taking the first step...

Whoa- this is def. my favorite post of yours. Really made me think (which at times can be a challenge after that last semester- j/k). I'm a very detail-oriented person, so it's easy for me to want to know everything before jumping in. I'm still learning that God loves the mystery and surprises that leave us wanting more of Him...that's the beauty of it all anyway.
It seems you and Scott are on the same "thinking process". Which, for me, means God is speaking to me through two dear friends! Thank you for being used by Him!
