Can you elaborate on your principles for knowing exactly where God wants us and some patterns maybe we can follow to find that out for sure?

Answer

It goes back to this idea of desire. What is the thing you most want to do? You know, if you had your choice which would you do? If you don't know which you would do, just do something. Just don't do nothing, you know. Make any choice at that point and let God lead you in it.

Personally, I think I would probably choose whichever of the two appeared to be the more difficult. That's just a personal feeling. Believing that...that the greater the challenge, the more it will demand of me and the more it demands of me the better success it's going to be. I find that usually when I choose the easiest of two things that I've chosen for the wrong reason. That's not always true, but...the most difficult thing. I don't know how to answer that other than to say I don't believe the Holy Spirit wants a Christian in limbo and I believe that the Holy Spirit will show you the right thing.

Do you feel that perhaps He would be leading you through a period of indecision, perhaps to test your faith and to show you to trust Him completely?
