Eric, 

Thank you for having an open mind .... to what the Lord wants for your life.  In all of our ways we are to acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths.  He tells us that we will find Him when we seek Him with our whole heart.  It is evident that you are searching and seeking.  I visited your blog this morning - but only briefly ... I promise to return.  The best thing that I know about our Lord and Saviour is this ... that He desires that we know Him intimately.  And one way that we arrive at this intimacy is through daily communion with him .. practicing the presence of the Lord .. praying without ceasing ... not compartmentalizing our faith ... looking to his word ... and pouring our heart out to Him about everything.  Look at David and the other Psalm writers, they told him what was on their hearts and minds.  They expressed their hopes and dreams, their fears and failures, their faith and love .... Our God is HUGE ... He can handle any question ... any fear ... any thought ... any anything.  He knows that we will stumble and falter and sin.  We are mere human beings.  There is none perfect, not one.  That is what is so amazing and miraculous about His gift of salvation - that you have received.  We didn't do a thing to earn it.  He paid the price.  Jesus is at the right hand of the Father always interceding for us.  Even when we don't know how to pray the Holy Spirit promises to intercede for us in a way that words cannot capture.   

As I wrote above, I truly believe that you are sincere.  That is why it is so important to immerse yourself in Him - His Word - His fellowship - His teachings - His love.  The wisdom of man is foolishness to a believer and the wisdom of God is foolishness to those who do not believe.  There are times in our walk when the world will be telling us one thing and He will be telling us something completely different.  He has given us that discerning Spirit that resides within us and if we are listening ... we will know our path.  He loves you.  He created you.  He sent His son to die for you.  He wants you to continue to grow in wisdom and knowledge and truth.  Continue to put your trust in Him.  I will be upholding you in prayer.
