Preparation or Predetermination?
Recently, I've been asking God for direction in my life. I have been diligently preparing in case God agreed with my decision for a direction. I didn't want to be unprepared if He said for me to go ahead and yet today it struck me that my preparation may be predetermination. I've made up my mind the way things should go and I'm taking the steps that need to be taken so things go my way. BUT...I'm skirting around God's will.
So what do you do when you are waiting on God's direction in life? Nothing? Something? Pray? I'm not exactly sure I have the answer to that question, as I've been forever noted as one that would use a battering ram on doors God had already closed. I know that the answer is to pray and patiently wait (another term that tries my "do it now" personality) so I'm going to put away my plans and turn them over to God. In Your Will may I be Lord and not in mine, that the path I am on and the one in my future, will glorify You and not me. Amen.

Take the road less traveled by laying down your will and waiting on God's.
