Christ's Plan... How do we enter into it?  Do we go and ask God directly through deep prayer? I believe that we can and we should.  This is where our journey begins in our relationship deepening with Christ.  The Catholic sisters throughout church history have been a shining example of following the way of Christ.  I believe that we too must be the absolute shining example in the life of every single adult that God is placing within our path.  We are born into this world by the grace of God, through our mothers womb and we are given a blank slate to fill.  Some have the focus, fortitude, drive, ambition, from the getgo.  Others struggle never quite gaining their berrings.  God gives to some life beyond one hundred years to live, and to make something great of the slate they were given.  Not everyones light bulb goes off like a Thomas Edison, because all of us were given a different measure of talent.  Some have and know and tap into their God given purpose in life and are happy.  Others are more ambitious in helping others feeling a great sense of purpose through mentorship.  No two lives are the same, but nonetheless, God is present, whether or not we can see or believe in him or not.  When we pray, we receive an extra measure of gods awesome and powerful grace.  The outpouring of Gods grace is given not just in ways we can see but in ways we do not see.  Why is that, now I will ask God when he comes to take me to himself. But in the interim, I believe that we can do all within his power when we give him our life, it is then we can create what is perfect in the eyes of God.  The life we thought would be the absolute best life  for us, doesn't always work out as well without prayer and without a relationship that is in Christ Jesus.  But how does it really play out in the end, in the way God would have prefered?  What exactly am I conveying?  Sometimes we can take the road that we want to travel, thinking it is the best road for us, when in actuality, it ends up being, the exact and total opposite of what thought we should be doing.  That is why we enter into a crossroad in life.  It is in that exact juncture we are forced to have to decide between one road or another.  One path whether easier or more difficult.  This is where prayer becomes the most powerful tool in the box.  Prayer helps us to discern properly every single choice we are given to make.  In the eyes of God every single decision we are choosing should be holy, should be fruitful, and should include prayer and attention toward God.  To have his blessing throughout ones journey teaches us to remain close and to trust our entire lives in his loving arms.  No one cares more for us, than God.  And once we receive this infinite power through him, we understand the importance of remaining in him to the very end.  Surely we can test the waters of time, and circle around life inuncertainty, and in regret, but why do that when you can trust and rely fully on the creator of all--- who knows what is truly in our best interest?
