errant questions


How do you know the right thing to do? As we try to plan our lives, I am having the hardest time knowing what would be right for us. I believe that God has an interest in our lives. How do I recognize His influence as opposed to what my heart aches for? Are they the same thing? How do I know when the time is right or when to be patient? How do I know when to make the turns on the road map of my life?

You ask your friends.

Wow, what great questions and they are causing me to think a lot about all of this...I'll send you an email soon with my thoughts if that is okay. Just trying to keep them concise and short, not my usual strength.

God called me, he told me to tell you that you are supposed to move back to Utah. We love you and miss you!

I think that our desires and God's have to be different. In fact, I think that we often have god-given desires. But, it's just so dang hard to tell the difference....

I'm such a dork....I meant to say that our desires and god's desires DON'T have to be different. uggggg...

If you figure these questions out, will you let me know? I ponder the same ones all the time. On the slightly impartial side, anything that brings you closer to Utah sounds like a warm fuzzy feeling to me :)

Wade and I are currently having very similar questions. What is the right thing for our family, his job, and the long term effects of given choices? I also believe God does care and would offer up some kind of answer to my concerns if I were close enough to hear them. Unfortunately in the last few years of my life I have allowed the current to take my boat further from the preferred destination.
