Sometimes I wonder if the Lord is calling or leading me somewhere or if it is all in my head.
To give you a little background of myself. I gave my life to the Lord when I was twelve years old but when I entered my early adulthood I really strayed from the Lord and who I was. I've been trying to walk a closer walk with Jesus now - though I still stumble....ALOT! - but I am trying. I've made too many poor decisions in my life and I believe it is mostly because I didn't seek ask the Lord what was best. Some of my poor decisions were based on youthful delusions of grandeur and others trying to get a quick fix to a problem than ended up compounding the problem. I've asked the Lord to help me make wiser decisions from now on.
Recently I have a longing to move to Texas. I'm not sure if I am mentally seeing greener pastures or if perhaps it is a calling such as when God told Abram to leave his family move from Ur of the Chaldeans (modern day Iraq) to what we now know as the Holy Land or Israel. When I was in the Coast Guard I was stationed in Corpus Christi and really loved Texas and only returned to Alabama because of my parents failing health. Now this longing to return to Texas is pretty strong. However there are alot of obstacles in the way that need resolving before that can happen. I truly trust the Lord will remove those obstacles if it is His calling but I have to do my part also. I'm just seeking His will on this one.
Any thoughts? Comments?
