Did you ever have one of those teachers who gave tests without letting you know what was going to be on it? You want to do well, but you get very little direction. Maybe there's so much information you don't know what's really important. If only he or she would just tell you what you need to know, you'd learn it. But, when there's no direction there's frustration and possibly failure.
Sometimes I feel like God is like that. He's giving me a test without telling me what I need to know to pass it. I mean, I want to do well. I want to learn the lesson and move on, but I don't know what I'm supposed to know. Obviously I haven't learned it yet, cause I'm still stuck in the same place. I'm still going around this same mountain.
I generally ask God for signs. Not thunder or lightning or a confirming miracle - a sign. A big one. With 3-foot letters on it so I can figure out what it is He wants me to do.
