 “there are two types of people..those who say to GOD, ‘thy will be done’ and those to whom GOD says ‘alright then, have it your way’.”

-          c.s. lewis

if i could have it any way, this is how it would go: i live a great life, have the perfect family, live in a cute house, am a stay-at-home mom, love JESUS.  american dream-style.

and this is me handing all of my dreams and desires and plans over to GOD. because i don’t want to be the person to whom GOD says, “alright, have it your way.”

as i allow GOD to direct my life and seek out HIS will, i’m trying to learn how i’m supposed to know what HIS will is. so far, i’ve come up with these: the desires that GOD has placed in our hearts are there for a reason. the wisdom and advice of those who are more spiritually mature (pastor, parents, etc.) should be taken seriously. the BIBLE gives us a ton of direction and guidance. prayer is a must. GOD will give peace of mind when we are considering the right option.
