When You Dont Know What to Do....
there seems to be so many times in our lives where we feel like we are at an empass. what do i do next? am I making the right choice? what will the out come be of my choices be? What am I here for? All these question and many more I have allowed to stop me from moving forward or feeling secure about my choices and what we do. So many times in my life I have questioned my choices, compared myself to my friends or even to strangers who observe to happier than I am so when I find myself in this situation I have come realize that I need to stop and do nothing, allow GOD to reveal to me which direction I should go into, reinforce that he has not left me and the path I am on is the the path I am suppose to be one.
I tease my students that they are the generation of the microwave, meaning they want every thing now but I must be honest i do at times I find myself in the same frame of thought. I find myself wanting what I want right now. I don't want to wait even if waiting is in my best interest. Once I am this situation that is not right for me I am asking GOD to get me out of it ad of I had no idea how I got there, of course he reminds me of my impatient prayer. When I think of all the prayers I have prayed that I have asked for something that involves only my own gratification and not looking or wanting to know the long term out come I feel foolish. So now I am working on patience not that this a new prayer I believe as you grow spirtual not necearrly religiosly ( that was another blog) patience is a growth that is on going for the rest your life, if for no ther reason we are finite creature and GOD in infinite. I am at the stage of my life that I want what he wants for me which is way more than i want for myself and since I don't know what to do to get there I am working on stepping aside and doing nothing. I am working on listening to him being intune to my inself, my soul and spirit there he speak to me. GOD knows me better than I know myself which good because i can often find myself walking out the door backwards LOL, he knows my needs. my wants, my aspirations, my desires and what it takes to make me feel fulfilled and most importantly he forgives me fastef than I forgive myself and is teaching me to let go and forgive myself, now and in as I move into the future and I am noe no longer wanting to be fooled by fools gold meaning something that looks great on the outside and is a hot mess on the inside. I know what I am good at I am recognizing my gifts, I am growing more and more and more to love with myself and correcting myself without punishing myself. GOD he has shown me and i realize that these lesson have all come from DOING NOTHING WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO because he reveals to me what I need to do in due time and not in my time. My grandmother and my mother has always said peace be still and i although i knew what that meant to a certain extent but only at the tender age of 35 i am beginning to understand what the true meanong is.
I have no idea what is going to happen in the next five minutes so who am i to act hastily and then say GOD bail me out? I know he knows what makes me happy and how to use my gifts to the best of my abilities, abilities that I don't even know I have so i am challenging myself to move out out of my own way and WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...DO NOTHING UNTIL HE SAYS MOVE and when GOD say move or makes a path their is no confusion because he is the most simplistic being. If you have a questions of which way to go sit back and do nothing and the next move will be so clear you will wonder how you where ever confused ( and yes I am still talking to myself because I am no where near to the pont of having all the answers or to stop my growth but venting and giving praise with my words of how I am growing relieves me and I hope you too.
