Where there's smoke.

How do you know God's will? Really. Any one out there got that figured out? There's the thought that God's perfect will is for us to know and love Him more.

ok. working on that.

Maybe my question is more about how do you find God's plan? His best? 

Remember the days of burning bushes, parting seas and trumpet blasts? Yah. those were the good ole days. Days when even a fool could look in his garden, see the rhododendron burst into flames and say, "Well, me thinks tis time to buy a new blender. Thanks Lord for the sign." And then quickly add "buy new bush" to the list of landscaping needs.

My desire is for God to be overt, obvious, unconcealed and indisputable. For me to see His path, show it to others and say, "Tis the Lord's leading. Therefor, there goest I!" (I always imagine that when the Lord speaks that clearly, I will respond in King James vernacular. Seems appropriate.)

So, Path A or Path B. How do we know which is of the Lord? I'm willing to sacrifice shrubbery if it means His best. I am also willing to sacrifice small potted plants and my vegetable garden if that would be more efficient.

You're right... those were the good ol' days. But I've yet to hear a booming voice from heaven. And none of my shrubs have burst into flames. I don't know if I'd be able to pull of the King James responses, though. {grin}

I see your hubby is a musician - worship minister, I'm guessing? My husband is a musician, too, but only for fun (and he plays in the band at church).
