Stop Searching and Start Listening!

At times I feel like I am still searching for who “I am” and what “I” want to do with my life; and I think I am too old for this, I should already have this down. 

But God does put new desires in our hearts though out our lives. Discerning which is from God and which are your own desires becomes the key.

I have so many different prayers that if God gave me them all at one time I would be overwhelmed! I’d be on gift overload. Looking back I wanted to be singer chick, I wanted to be a Christian Teen Club owner, Christian Concert Event Planner. I wanted to help the homeless, get the prostitutes saved, raise awareness to the human trafficking rings, see where I am going with this?

 My thoughts and My ways are above and beyond you,
        just as heaven is far from your reach here on earth.Isaiah 55:9 Voice

I thank God that His thoughts are greater than mine!  What God has for you is greater than you can even imagine. Oh I may have been able to accomplish some of those things on my list, but here is the constraint –I didn’t wait, I wanted it too quick. When that didn’t happen I gave up or was distracted by what was next on my list.

When I stopped focusing on “my “ desires I could hear God’s desires for me.  Desires I could not imagine because I felt I didn’t have the skills.

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Ephesians 3:20 MSG

“I” don’t have the skills, but God can provide them. He will open doors and provide a path for my journey.

Remember God made you, He knows you inside out. He has a plan for you if you will just- Stop searching and start listening!
