the divine shrug. the fact that HE cares intimately about our life details, but when it comes to these decisions, HE doesn't care which one we choose. HE cares about who we are, not where we are. so whichever way we turn, HE can use. it's all about who we are in what we choose, growing our character and choosing to grow in HIM. if we choose a direction that is not healthy for us, that is a wrong decision. if we choose the way that cultivates us deep inside, that is a right decision.
it's hard to get out of my head that there is no right and wrong way with HIM. there is no "THIS is the way for you, anna, go here." there is just the, "you get to choose, but walk with me and i will bless your decision." i guess i grew up thinking that there is one, planned-out, set path for my life and that i have to decide what it is that HE wants for me, and that there is the possibility of choosing the wrong choice.
our God is not like that. why would HE do that to us?
HE wants our worship, our love, our commitment to relationship with HIM. and that is the right choice for my life. that. right there.
i'm trying to shake this mentality i've had for so long of believing that i have to struggle to unearth the choices that will put me on par for the life HE's planned for me. there is no one right answer? no. there is no one right answer.

I had a class where we discussed this in college. It was one of the most eye-opening lectures of my entire life.
Did you make up the title of it though? I've never heard that term. It is absolutely brilliant.
Even when God says, "meh" it's wonderful.
haaaaa yess.
i did not make that one up. tommy told us about it. it's good though, huh? such a perfect description of that.
