Still Learning: Trusting is Hard

      Right now I'm going through a phase where I have no idea what to do. I have no idea what will happen next fall or even next semester. I have big decisions to make. These decisions could change what I had planned for the next 4 years. A little over a month ago I would have been most excited about going to China on a mission trip this coming summer. For the past two weeks, I've had different feelings regarding the trip. From the very beginning I asked God to point me in the right direction and that his will be done. Right now I think it was me who chose China. I wanted to go BUT what did God want? What does He want?
      Over the past few months I've been dealing with different obstacles and have learned to trust God. I don't think trusting God is something a person can ever master. I think there will always be more room for improvement. Trusting God, in my opinion, is a continual process. It is something that I can always use more work at. We could all use a little more work in that area I'm sure.
      What is holding you back? I know I'm a very selfish person. I'll admit it. What I want has often been put before what God wants for my life. I can't express how guilty I feel about that, but I know that God forgives.

Don't dwell on feeling guilty because that won't get you anywhere. Instead, push on to improve in whatever area needs improving.
