Desperately Seeking...

Psalms 119:93

..."I look high and low for your words of wisdom."

Have you ever felt that you can't hear Him.  That everything else in our lives is so loud that we cannot focus on what God is trying to tell us.  I still struggle daily...am I doing the right thing...is this what God wants?  Since I was young I have considered myself a serial flip flopper.  I am sure that it happened when I was much younger but I truly realized it when I was in college.  It was there that I changed my major about 5 times.  When I got married and had a baby I decided I should be a teacher and I got my teaching certification.  I then realized that wasn't what I wanted.  In the past few months I have really thought that owning my own business is what I should do.  Russ and I have been talking about doing real estate together.  But now I am feeling a pull towards ministry.  God..where is my sign?  Where is the sign that says, "Tori!  This is what you should be doing! (Big arrows pointing) And these are the steps...1...2...3..."  Wouldn't that be nice!  But that's not how it works!  I think that God wants us to prayerfully seek Him and His will.  Be still and listen.  I believe that God will open door and close others.  I believe that he will present opportunities to us to show us.  Sometimes I think that you literally have to take a leap of faith...fall on your face...or soar.  He is a great God, a mighty God, a faithful God, and He will see us through.  God's word is truth and we can take comfort that He knows all, sees all, and will only give us what we can handle!  A couple of weeks ago my pastor made a comment that has stuck with me.  He said, "Instead of asking God to bless what we are doing, we need to do what He is blessing!"  Powerful!  I think so often we try to do it our way...and what we know is that won't do the trick.  Doing it our way will only lead to trouble!  I want to do it God's way.

Today our prayer is that God will continue to show us the way.  That he will continue to open those doors and close the doors that need to be shut!  Don't just close them God...board them up and throw away the key!  Help us to have peace and understanding when those doors are closed.  Give us comfort that you will not steer us wrong.  Help us to start doing what you are blessing! AMEN
