What is God's Will?
And, why don't I know it?
Recent events have proved that I am totally unaware of God's will. I truly believed that a few things were going to happen - new career opportunity, a financial recovery, a growing church - and none of these seem to be happenning. I am totally clueless? Is God even listening? Does he care?
It is painful to put yourself out there for people and have them slam a door in your face. It is even more painful when you feel like you've put yourself out there for God, and it feels like he has slamed the door in your face, traping your fingers in the door jam!
My faith says that I am simply out of touch with what God's will is - that I need to spend more time with Him and pay attention to where he is working... but I feel like I have been ignored. I feel hurt.
That is where I am at today! Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

Erica, I know those are questions that so many of us struggle with from time to time. The other day I was reading this scripture, and it made me think of you and I've been meaning to come here and quote it for you even though I know you wrote this a couple weeks ago! :) I guess the end part is an over-quoted/sung scripture, :) but still a great one, and the context seemed to speak to what you're talking about here. Isaiah 40
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God"? 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isn't that beautiful? I hope it brings you some hope and that you're doing better these days.
Love bonnie
