Taking it to the Lord

Did you ever have this vision of where you should be in life, but you just couldn't quite get there? Yeah, that's basically where I am right now. I can see it. It's right there! But it's just not me. And I don't really know how to make it me. And there's really only one thing to do. It's times like these that I go straight to the Lord. Why, you ask? Well, I have to go straight to Him because He is the only one who knows how to sort it out. He's got this thing called infinite knowledge, you see. And well, I definitely don't. Ha! Emphasis on the "definitely." So, I take my problem to Him and sit before Him silently and then, in the days to come, I wait. With problem on the front burner and sometimes on the back, I wait. And I remember to bring it up to Him on a regular basis (this is called seeking Him) and then, I wait some more. Sometimes I fast. Mostly I don't. But I wait. And I don't forget. And neither does He. He has a very attentive ear. With time, sometimes fairly prompt and sometimes not, He answers. With this vision I have where I think I should be at a certain place in life, well, if there is anything God has taught me over my few short years on this earth, it is that I cannot be something I am not supposed to be. Now, I'm fairly certain about the "place." I am in the right place because God has put me there. But how am I supposed to "be" in this place, that is my hang up. And only He can show me. As it stands, I have this vision of how I am supposed to "be." But I just can't quite make myself be it! In fact, I have no desire to even try. This is why I have to go to Jesus. Either my vision is skewed or my heart is off. And He is the only one who knows which and how to fix it. And if I wait long enough, He will show me. I know this because one) I've experienced it many times before and two) it is His will to show us His purpose for our lives. He wants us to be in the right place-the place where we will be comfortable with who we are and happy in Him. Soli Deo Gloria.
