No Will of My Own Part 2

Asking God about EVERYTHING is harder than I thought. I've been in this experiment for a couple of months now and honestly it's not what I expected at all. The times when I would "rest," God has pointed out my lazy attitude and told me to work. The times when I would work, ultimately trying to avoid other things, God has told me to slow down, to rest. It's fascinating how His ways are often opposite of our own. 

During these couple of days, I've learned a lot about myself, my stubbornness, my human desire for independence, my absolute strong-willed plans I make for myself, almost without thinking. One morning as I was about to do my Bible reading, He told me to write instead. It felt contrary to everything I've told myself before. Another day, when I had dinner to cook, laundry to fold, and endless other things to do, He told me to sit and play cars with my son. He told me to up my pace on the treadmill and slow down when getting in the car to go to town. One morning He told me to just get ready when I wanted to go back to sleep, and another He had me rest a bit longer. I don't always understand His directions. But I know when I follow there is always peace. 

How is your journey of hearing His voice going? Have you started asking Him about the every little steps and moments? Does that feel like a lot? It's okay if it does. 

Isaiah 30:21

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.
