If I feel something in my heart and pray for it is that God's will or is that simply what I want?

If instead of thinking I want something, I can FEEL that it's what I need, is that something I should follow?

I'm stuck at a crossroad in my life and can't decide which path to take. I've prayed for guidance on this every day and I feel that I found what I truly wanted.

But I'm not sure if it's exactly what I need or if I've convinced myself I need it as opposed to following God's will.

If you are not sure about what God's plan is in your life then trust that scripture will have the answers. Do what you think is right that is in accordance with His word and you will be on the right track. Pray about it and seek guidance from your mentors.

I have been reading into your recent dilemna and how you deal with it and I am going to be straight up with you so I hope you will take this as constructive criticism .

It seems to me that Gods will is not what you are truly seeking . This seems to be a clear case of a you trying to force your own will on God because you haven't liked the clear signs you have received and now you are looking for someone , anyone , to tell you that your approach is okay . Unknown to you there are others like myself who have been following this drama unfold by reading into this forum but most do not post here because of our ages and I have only recently begun to post here myself .

The opinion we have is unanimous that you have been given more than ample response from God and that you are not going to heed His answers under any circumstance , that in fact this situation has placed you in open rebellion to His will and the only result will be disaster .

I am not going to continue this dialogue beyond this post because I know where it will go but I will say this final thing on the matter - stop waiting for the only answer you will accept and learn to live with the ones you have already been given .

Peace

This is a career dilemma now ='(

I need to decide whether or not which career path to take.

I.E.

The career path I wanted for myself 2 months ago is now something that I believe I am settling on, as opposed to continuing with my schooling, I feel that I'm taking an easier path.

Basically I made a clear decision to myself that I was going to join the Air Force 5 months ago, I recently have become more and more active with my recruiter and took the testing 2 months ago.

The only thing stopping me now is the question of whether I'm simply doing this because I feel I have no other choice, or if it's the easiest solution for me.

I could continue my schooling and work towards something but that seems difficult to me, yet it's something I'd be capable of. Now I'm almost sure I don't want to join the Air Force but I've committed so much time to it I feel obligated, even though I'm not sure if it's what I want.

Gods will is what He's going to do in and through you to the world.
GO WITH IT, ITS WHAT WE'RE MADE TO WANT AND SEARCH FOR!!!

Just stuck at a point in my life where I have to make a decision and one way or the other is the one I have to stick with.

It's difficult for me...
