Last night I was praying about which outreach destination he wanted me to go on, and after a little while I felt like I should turn to James 1 and this is the first verse I saw
5 If you need wisdom – if you want to know what God wants you to do – ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
At first I laughed and told God I was already asking, why was he telling me to ask again :p
but I realized he really wanted me to seek, to be patient for an answer, and to really believe Him when he answered me, not to doubt Him.
I realised today that I had only just prayed an hour before I got the verse, that God would teach me to really wait on Him for answers and not take things into my own hands.
So I'm still seeking an answer for which outreach He will have me go on ... but I will let you know, when God lets me know :)

Thanks for sharing this...the verse blessed me at a time when I truly did need wisdom. I pray and believe God will show you, step by step, His plans for where He wants you. May He continue to bless you richly.
Hey, I happened upon your site while on a friend's page, and I just wanted 2 say that you're truly inspiring.
Not being Catholic myself, I can see in your writing that it doesn't matter what faith you are, the fact that you have faith (and so strongly) makes you holy in yourself. Keep it up!

Thanks for stopping by and reading ... and I'm glad to hear that some of what I have written is inspiring ... the difference with my faith is that its not "faith" that has made me "holy" ... it is "my faith in Jesus" that has ... because any ounce of holiness that is in my life is because of Jesus (100% holy) living in me.
And prayer is powerful, because God is powerful :)
