I need to get my thoughts out there.
I want to do something with my life. I just have too many options and not enough guidance.
I currently hold a bachelors degree in social work. I work as a prevention educator for a domestic violence agency. I have a lot options to choose from when the time becomes right.
- Masters in Social Work
- Masters in Counseling
- Alternative Certificate (State of Texas)
- Masters in ________
I could take the easy route and get my masters in social work. It fits my job well plus you can LITERALLY do anything with it and work with any population of people. I could get a masters in counseling. Still applies but limits me a little, BUT should it be school counseling, Christian counseling, biblical counseling, or licensed “regular” counseling. I could get an alternative certificate for Texas. Those of you don’t know Texas needs teachers so badly that you can take any 4 year bachelor degree, go through this program, and become a teacher. Just in case you are looking for a job and want to move. Or I could get a masters in just about anything else.
But enough about the non-issue. My biggest issue is that I’m not seeking God’s counsel.
I’m at a point where I want to do something but have no idea because I haven’t prayed about it. I don’t know how to ask God to show me…
Now let me rephrase that because you probably read it as “I don’t know how to ask God what to do.” But what I really meant is “God give me a sign.”
I feel like that’s the main issue when I talk to people. It’s an “Ok God I’m going to step in this direction, but if it’s wrong please stop me,” mentality. I don’t want to ask God for answers, I want to ask him for wisdom. I don’t want to ask God for options, I want to ask for guidance. I don’t want to ask God questions, I want to ask his purpose.
