How much does that honestly matter? And how much do you expect to know before hand? Maybe you should do one or the other in faith. I can’t say because I’m not you and my opinion shouldn’t matter. All you can do is ask and see what you’re told and what you’re not told.

Faith is the key as always. Some of the logical direction and “wants” could also be signs for you to follow as well.

It’s a hard thing to figure out: how much of my direction is divine and how much is just me. But I don’t think that the guidance of God always leads us away from what we would want…I think we have certain desires because they are part of what God put in us according to what He’s going to do with our lives. But I agree that those ‘wants’ must be completely surrendered in order to live lives that are totally about Him and not about us.

also… sometimes, God’s “GO” doesn’t mean picking up and moving somewhere new… sometimes, and most recently in my life, God’s “GO” can mean, “stay”. But it’s the principle of believing God, trusting His promises, in the midst of stepping into new territory, whether it be geographical or otherwise.

But remember to be honest with yourself about how much of the guidance is want and how much is surrendering.

“we will be used by God in greater ways than we can imagine!” or—-know God in ways we never imagined –because of obedience to His call ‘to go’.
we love sharing the journey with you….
