I just wanted to add one thing to Jaemin's rules. It's not really a rule. But anyone who reads these posts is free to disagree with any of the content contained therein. We welcome disagreement because life would become boring without it. Heck, we (the moderators) will probably end up disagreeing with one another at times. The only thing is that we want you to respect one another.
As the Word says, ". . . humility comes before honor." Proverbs 15:33
Anyhow on to the real reason I wanted to post.

This article talks partially about hearing the voice of God and following His will. It should be pretty important to all of us but it is especially so for me as I ponder what in the world it is that God wants me to do after college.
Here's something that caught my eye:
'A primary characteristic I look for in discerning God's influence is peacemaking. If it's God, then its natural result is peace. One thing I no longer struggle with — but I know people commonly do — is the misconception that peace requires clarity. This false belief is fostered by misguided people like the speaker I mentioned.
Mother Theresa, on the other hand, once refused a man's request that she pray for him to have clarity. Surprisingly, she responded with, "I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you trust God."'
On and off I've been asking God for clarity in my life. I hadn't known why until now but I had always had a nagging feeling that clarity wasn't something I should be asking for. I guess I should've realized it before but there can be peace without clarity. And how does it come? By trusting God.
Easier said than done no doubt. But if I haven't already, I will be getting a lot of practice in this area of life.
So much for my first ever blog post. Let's get this party started!
