If you're happy and you know it.....

I am going through a time in my life where I am having to make choices on life changing decisions.And it's at those times, that you should be the most desperate, seeking the Lord and His council. Sometimes it's hard to know the will of God though, and because it is a big thing, I am worried that I won't hear clearly enough what the Lord want's to say, so I avoid asking him. It really doesn't make an sence to do that, but unfortunately this isn't the first time I have done it. Anyway, I was reading a letter this morning and this quote spoke to me, so I wanted to post it.

SO WHAT IS THE FIRST REQUIREMENT IN FINDING GOD'S WILL?: HAVING NO WILL OF YOUR OWN! Surrender your will, your body, your mind to the Lord.

I think you would call this the voice of the word, because it jumped right at me. I have been trying so hard to decide what I want to do with this situation that I am in, and I claimed to want to know the will of God, but I had my own ideas and never fully surrendered to Him. This sentence made me realize that I need to give up my will in oorder to find what I am looking for : the will of God.
