I read this on the back cover of a book today....
It's time to try something new: GIVE UP!
Too often God's people tinker around with churches, jobs and relationships. worrying that they haven't found God's perfect will for their lives. Or - even worse- they do absolutely nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of paralyzed indecision waiting... waiting.... waiting for clear, direct, unmistakable direction. God doesn't need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He's already revealed His plan for our lives: to love Him with our whole hearts, to obey His word and after that, to do what we like. No need for hocus-pocus. No need to be directionally challenged. JUST DO SOMETHING.
-Pastor Kevin DeYoung -(Just Do Something)
Or as Oswald Chambers says "Trust God and do the next thing".

Hugh rules - Tell me if it's worth reading!
or as Nike says, "Just do it!" Too often throughout the day, I sit around looking for "God's will". I don't think his will is for me to sit around! Then again, I think it is His will for us to be patient.
Patience is not one of my strong points........ "Squirrel!"
Interesting.... From my notes of this mornings sermon: Waiting on God - Patiently (Romans 8:24), Expectantly ( Expecting that God will speak to us) and Faithfully (Do something, service, living out the word of God in your day to day life)..... Is Pastor Bruce reading our blog?? Or maybe....God is trying to tell me something... Have a great day!
