I will say my thought...
I think a lot of life comes down to just choosing a way and running with it. I don't think God designed us to live in uncertainty and I know that He is not glorified by our bewilderment. And maybe a lot of the choices that young adults have to make simply come down to choosing one or the other and committing to do the best we can do on that path. Maybe God speaks directly to some, but that hasn't been my experience and so I am as uncertain as anyone. I know that I have a tendency to over-react, over-commit, and over think; and that makes me wonder if I am making this too hard for myself in trying to make the "right" choice - maybe it's just about not making the wrong choice. And the wrong choice would simply be the foolish one(s); so, what would wisdom dictate, becomes the real question. But you can still take a lot of data into consideration when trying to make the wise decision, so the first decision would be - what am I going to take into consideration when I make my choices; where are my priorities. I doesn't make it easier to let go of things you value, but it at least gives you a reason...maybe that's all I'll get.

I stumbled across your blog by accident but maybe God brought me here. What you said in this and a few previous posts really struck a cord in me. It helps me to know that there are other people who feel the way I do. The way you put it makes me want to analyze myself and get rid of all my idols. I don't know you but I know God used your words to reach me. Thank you.
Thanks, that is an encouragement.
