Hello Active Rain Family, How are you all doing? I am doing well. Thank God. It has been awhile since I've communicated with you all. I feel as if I am sometimes in this world all by myself. I am asking for your prayers that God will continue to direct my path and show me the plans that He has for my life. I am, as always, continuously seeking God's plan for my life. Believe me I am fully knowledgeable of Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 6:33, and the rest of God's Word. I also know that God's plan is the best plan for my life. I just don't have a clue as to what the plan is and I do not want to be out of His Will. I am just at a stand still and do not know what it is I am suppose to be doing. I know that God gives us our heart's desires but I really do want my heart's desire to be God's will for my life. Please keep me lifted up in prayer. God Bless each of you.
May God make his plans for you clear Sonya, in his time - until then, know HE is in every task you work at and do daily during your wait.....1 Corinthians 10:31
God Bless You
Sincerely,
Grace
Sonya, I will be praying for you and have featured this prayer request in Christianity and Real Estate.
Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my favorite verses -a great promise from our Awesome God.
BRIAN...we must be online at the same time... you are BEATING me to all those posts I would feature.......
AWESOME!!!
Sonya..... may the presence of the Lord be very perceivable in your life as you pursue HIS will...... may you know His joy at your obedience, and His sorrow when you stray..... to keep you on the narrow road that leads to life!!
GBY sister!!

Sonya,
God does have a purpose for each one of us. But, what I want to say to you may seem a bit selfish.
You said, you have " desires" these could be very strong desires. That is good. The question you have to ask is who put them in your heart? how did they get there? These certainly can be of God. Why would He not put those thoughts in your heart? He is not in the business of confusing us.
list all of those things that are on your heart. Just write them down. Pray about each. How does the Holy Spirit lead on each. It is amazing what you'll find out. You begin crossing off things from the list. Then, you're down to the two-three choices.
Then, it's a matter of faith. Believing that GOD is trustworthy. When your heart is right, you can trust Him to lead you in the way you should go.
I am believing God's right answer for you and it will be soon.
Sonya,
I am currently doing a course on the Fruit of the Spirit and it has been an eye opener. Work first on your loving relationship with the Father. Fall so deeply in love with Him that your relationship is so close that you are able to hear everything as soon as He tells you. He does have a plan for you and He is trying to tell you, slow down and enter into His love and learn how to hear it.
God Bless You
Jeff & Grace, Alexander, Brian, John, Hugh.........Thanks for all of your prayers and I am continuously seeking God first in my life. I have personally responded to each of you and again I am thankful for your continued prayers. God bless each of you.
All I know is this- When in doubt be still and listen for God's will. It always becomes clear if I am willing to hear. By having the faith to walk the the path I know to be right all else comes as it should, when it should. Sometimes my hearts desire changes after a while and after God shows me things. I just have to remember that I am always right where I am supposed to be, even if I don't know why. Just my experience...God bless you and keep you!
Hi Sonya -- your post is heartfelt, and John March's advice was really good, as was Hugh's heart. I know of a good strong Christian woman who wrote these words about herself; take heart in them because God is speaking these to me about you:
"This is my dream - to help others own a "Piece of America". I love being instrumental in providing educational services and helping those with dreams of homeownership become a reality. I want to encourage, motivate, and help all those who want to be a part of the "American Dream".
Sonya.........
I tried to talk to ya on the phone, but I got yer voicemail.... call me any time if you want to pray.....
LUV ya sister!!
=-)
I once was trying to decide between two paths befoer me, and when I payed about them, the answer came through really clearly- "It doesn't matter". It came so clearly that I actually said "What?" The answer to that as that both options would do what I needed, both were morally OK, neither had a real downside (I had already considered both carefully). God said do whichever one I wanted.
My point is that sometimes we need to move ahead with what we think is best as long as there is nothing wrong with what we are doing. If it isn't where God wants us He will arrange to change it.
You are the apple of His eye and I know you know that. Sometimes all you need is to be still and not think too much. I believe that He gives us our heart's desires.
Sonya, you have been given some good advice by John, Hugh, and Leslie. If you take those three things and put them together, you will have your answer - of that I am certain. God bless you.
Sonya, like you I also seek the plan that is for me. As I am not the "burning bush" type I have to wait patiently and see what unfolds. Take care!
