Hearing God

Wow, has it really been 3 weeks since I posted? Im not much of a “stream of consciousness” type writer, so when I am really thinking through something not much comes out. The past few weeks I have been wrestling with the issues of calling/career and I just feel stuck. For you facebook people out there, my current status is, “Lee is trying to find himself so he can go look for a job.” I know I am supposed to be in Columbia helping lead our baby church, but beyond that I am unclear. I think I am a pretty self-aware person, but I have never been able to translate that into any specific career path or goals. I see myself as the proverbial “jack of all trades, master of none.” Not good when trying to look for a job. So I have been begging God to give me some direction. Not just the ability to discern the best option of those available to me, but a very specific leading from him. Throughout scripture I see God speak to people. Sometimes its verbal, sometimes through dreams, sometimes through angels, prophets, etc. But somehow the people always seem to know 2 things; that it’s God speaking, and exactly what it is that he is telling them. So that is my prayer – that he would give me some very clear direction, and that I would know with all certainty that it is from Him.
