The confusion continues...

My dear friends...I hope you had a wonderful day today! How do you go about determining what God's will is in your life?  How do you know when something happens (i.e. a person from your past re-enters your life, someone offers you something you didn't expect, something you had been working for isn't occurring as planned, etc.) that it is a "test" by God (or a temptation from the devel) to see if you are accepting His will for you or if He is presenting you with a new opportunity in order for Him to take you into a new direction? As a continuation from yesterday's journal, some more things happened to me today that tells me that God is working in my life.  I just don't know exactly how to interpret His messages.  I won't bore you with all of teh details right now...for I'm still trying to sort things out in my head. I just continue to think about what my mentor told me yesterday...to take it all to prayer...asking for His will to be known to me.  We'll see...  In a way, it is very exciting to see him at work in my life.  However, it is very frustrating not knowing His desires for me. On the other hand, I have the comfort in knowing that if the Lord is presenting me an opportunity...and I'm too stupid to recognize it...He will always provide me with future opportunities. I hope all of you have a fantastic night and are blessed with a lot of joy and happiness tomorrow.

Keep seeking His will in your life and He will come through, God never fails, I am living proof of that.

I agree that prayer is the answer. When I pray for guidance I have to ask God to let me recognize what his answer is, as I can be dense sometimes LOL. I have also found that even though I may want something one way, or feel that maybe I have missed out, later I know that it was God guiding me all along. I believe that if we pray and listen for God\'s answer, than there is no wrong only right. I hope you find your answers. God Bless. Teresa
