Over the past month or two I have realized that my plan does not always line up w/ God's plan. Where I want to go to school in the fall may not be where God wants me to be. This has been a pressing issue on my mind the last couple of months.
I just have to ask myself the question, "How hard is it to follow God's will?"
Why can't our church today just get out of the way and earnestly seek after God's face and follow his plan for our lives?
Today the average American (including myself) is so caught up with jobs, money, dating, school, friends and all kinds of other crap that God and his plan for us gets shoved to the back burner.
I say that it is time to start following God again. We cannot have our churches as meeting grounds for people. Our churches need to be meeting grounds for God to work in congregations as a whole instead of a social hour.
Figuring out God's plan is not the hard part...it's following it once he reveals it to us. God will not withhold his plan for our lives from us. He will reveal it to us in His time, not ours. All we have to do is follow it.
Luke 9:23 - look it up

We always say that we are looking for God's path for our lives, and it makes sense, but I don't think he ever actually shows us the path he wants us to take. He may give us little clues, little hints... but most of what he does is just showing you the next step you should take. He might not even show you the steps you've taken until you look back. It always amazes me when I look back and see how I got to where I am now. The whole way I never knew that I was taking steps, but when I look back it is so painfully obvious that I was following a path.
The future is a mystery, at least for us, and God shows us the path ahead not all at once. Too often I think we are looking for a roadmap for the rest of our lives, and we sometimes miss the exit signs that God wants us to take.
Take it easy, the future will come and you have no need to worry about it. Just focus on taking your next little step before you decide to blaze a trail into the great unknown.
I like it man, I like it.
...as a completion to what "theboythatis" said:
following God through Jesus ("I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me") requires faith and willingness. We must desire it, blend it with our goal, defeating the flesh and make it constantly, that is, to persevere.
I hope this helps "Sanely_InSaNe" too... ;)
God bless you,
and blessed be God!
