Well Easter was interesting... God works in mysterious ways to say the least. One of the things that I have been finding most difficult lately is discovering the plan that God has for me. It seems at this moment in time, that everyone else seems to know what is best for me and the timing that God has for me. I find this interesting considering that these people have little to no more insight than what I have and yet they know what is better.
Why is it that when a person is having trouble deciding God's will for them, the people around them encourage them to trust God more, when it seems they are having difficulty themselves in handing over their burdens and fears to him. Perhaps what one should do is pray for those who are in a position of decision making, after all they are the ones who really need it...Right?
That still leaves me with the problem of knowing God's will for me. Perhaps it is a matter of knowing in your heart God's will and just waiting for others to catch up or maybe it is this bit in the journey when God stops you and brings you down to earth, as a way of reassuring you of the direction you must take. In either case patience is involved. So bring these thoughts to an end what one needs when understanding God's will is patience, which could lead on to the question, How do you gain patience in your life? I think I will leave that one for next time.

I think that patience can come from perseverence - persevering through not knowing, but heading towards nothing but God.
The will of God is a tricky one, and one people like to tell you what God's will for you is. People speaking for God - not cool. It's about prayer, trust and obedience. Something I've also come to realise is that it's about obedience and surrender, surrendering our lives and our all to God. Although it seems hard it just has to be done.
Sometimes I find it comes down to my will vs. God's will. I try to do it on my own, and control my own life, rather than let it be God-driven.
Hey Tiarnee,
Great to see that you have created a blog! I am looking forward to your posts.
If I answered your question I would have put practically what Sammy did (Sammy you wrapped it up nicely).
One statement I will add is - Patience is a virtue.
