I can't tell you howmany times in life I have found myself saying is this what I am supposed to be doing with my life....or using the phrase whats meant to be will be.....it wasn' untill recently that i realised what i was really asking is ......is this in keeping with gods will?.....
I have found that if what you are soing is in gods will you won't have to ask that question.....believe it or not when you are in gods will you will see things come together of thier own accord...without much effort on your part...welll atleast in my experience anyway....
My family and I are planning a moveto Houston texas later in the year ....we currently reside in virginia so this is a HUGE move for us..... now I know some people are like so what...it's a move ...well let me tell you that with a family involved....its no easy task to move across the country...not to mention the state of todays economy....isn't exactly favorable for this type of thing.
You start to ask yourself ...is this the right decision....should i really leave my job....what about child care.... what about helath care....what about my entire comfortable lifeI have built here! It is seriously a scarry thing to do.... But what if you knew its what GOD wanted you to do...would you feel better about it?...I would...and do.
So now your saying ...HOw do you know GOD wants this for you? ...... Well the simle answer is that I have faith in that fact....but thats the cookie cutter christian answer for everything so ill give you more....how about....simple ..small things.... like I praed that god would keep my focus on texas so i would not fall short....how does he do this...I kid you not...everytime I start my car and drive around town....in the past 6 months... I have seen atleast 1 texas license plate...so what right...ok...how about that in that same time span I recently got a new coworker who just moved her from houston texas....not enough? I went on a side job to help out a friend...his sister neded some AC work done so I went over to look at her system and found out she just moved here from the exact neighborhood my wife and I were hoping to move to! still not convinced ....we found a church that we plan to attend without ever stepping foot in the are awe want to move to...in conversation a VERY good friend suggested some reading material to my wife...upon reading it ( and loving what she read) she researched the author and ...he is a pastor at a HUGE church in houston just 18 minutes from where we would like to move to....still not convinced....my half sister recently got married to a man who calls that same area of texas home and they plan on moving hback there when he is done with his military career.....
there are so many more things .....friends falling off in order to stream line our life for the move...scripture speaking to us directly....so MANY things i cant explain them all....but I see his will at work....don't you?
