For all the wrong reasons...

Do you ever wonder why you are doing something? Do you ever find yourself so far down a certain path and wonder how you got there? We like to think that we are very purposeful and planned beings but sometimes what we think is actually not the case. And then there are those times when you think you are doing something for one reason and then finally figure out that there is another reason altogether. Confused yet? I am... lol. When making big decisions in life what should our reasons and purposes be? This is a question I have been thinking about a lot lately. Do I really have the best intentions when making decisions or am I making decisions to avoid unwanted awkward or painful moments in my life. Is my decision to buy a house to invest God's money wisely and do I have His purposes in mind or am I just lazy and I don't want to move again? Do I desperately want to move on to the next part of my adult life that I am reaching out for something, something that will help me to feel fulfilled and successful? I am surrounded by life happening... engagements, marriage, babies, family functions, work functions etc. What is going on in my life? Is it ok that I'm existing and have been steadily in the same place for almost 2 steady years now or do I need more. To wrap this up so I don't continue to just ramble on and on the point is that our purpose for doing things in life should be to glorify God. Your purpose, will, and success come from him. He is teaching me that feelings are a big part of hearing Him and that peace speaks wonders. So instead of blocking Him out of my decisions... making my decision... and then inviting Him to be a part of my decision how about asking Him what His plan is and then following through with that. God's plan along with a lot of patience are the right equation to success I am sure. :)
