Clarity?

Seek, and ye shall find. Ask, and all will be answered. Pray, and your prayers will be answered.

I believe all of this indeed does occur when in communion with God. Believers know this to be true. Believers also know that God reveals himself uniquely - and often, with a very unique sense of humor!

- What I seek is not necessarily what he has me find.
- What I ask is not necessarily what is answered.
- What I pray for is not necessarily answered in the way I envisioned.

Take today, for example. I attended a professional networking meeting this morning. Said another way, a group of people who are either (a) out of a job and desperate to find one, (b) providing a service to assist those who are in search of a job, or (c) people who haven't a clue.

I went in thinking (a), and came out thinking (c). I went in knowing that there were (b) people there to assist me, and they certainly did. I left believing now than at any other time of my life that working for someone else is something I not only don't want to do, it is something I will avoid if at all possible. I came out with resolve to make it the rest of my career in my own way - as a business owner (and potentially an employer), and not ever again as an employee.

So here is God, taking me where I've not been previously, and surprising me with a comfortable decision - one which simultaneously excites me and scares me. I can control & channel my excitement easily, just by getting immersed into whatever it is I choose to do. I can also control & channel my fear into Trust & Faith - and am choosing to do just that.

So....once we exit the current space my mental, emotional and spiritual place inhabits, it will be full speed ahead, into the unknown. To go where this man has never gone before. To seek new lands and life forms, to be all that I can be, yada yada yada.

And to do this in a way in which there is no doubt that God is in control, and I am but a servant, trusting and having faith.
