So I had this conflicting conversation with God. He presented something to me and I felt in my spirit that it was a wonderful idea and I\u2019d like to be part of making a difference in someone\u2019s life. But then I started second guessing myself. I\u2019m too old. I\u2019m not qualified. I am an introvert, mostly. I don\u2019t know what to expect. I have health issues. I’m a little a feared…I begin looking at all the reasons why I can\u2019t do it. I’d pray and think. Pray and think. \u201cOK, I\u2019ll go. I\u2019ll just take tiny steps toward doing this and see how it goes.\u201d Then anxiety set in and the closer it came to fulfilling the task, I wanted to back out, but I\u2019m torn. Let me just say that if you\u2019re in anxiety you\u2019re in sin, and sin, will block faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. So I repented and asked God to help me and even if I\u2019m a little afraid I\u2019ll do it anyway. He said, with His help, I Can Do All Things…because He, will give me strength!<\/h6>\n
The conversation continued in my head\u2026 \u201cGod I\u2019m not hearing you clearly, do I do this or not? Holy Spirit, please help me. Do you want me to go or not? Is this you or is it me? Is it the devil hindering me? I don\u2019t know what to do? So I get in my car and drive. I\u2019m driving, listening to my favorite Christian radio station and a song begins to play. I sing along with it but I\u2019m not really aware of the words\u2026all of a sudden I realize I\u2019m singing\u2026I am not alone, I am not alone, You <\/strong><\/em>will go<\/strong><\/em> before me, You will never leave me\u2026(Kari Jobe)<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cYou will GO before me.\u201d I\u00a0see this car in front of me, and on the rear window\u00a0is a sticker with the word \u2018GO\u2019<\/strong>\u2026 I start praising God and tears spring to my eyes as I say out loud\u2026 \u201cThat\u2019s God talking!\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
Now let me just say this, I don\u2019t believe in omens and I don\u2019t believe in coincidence. I do believe there are reasons and purposes for everything that happens in a believer\u2019s life.<\/h6>\n
I begin praising the Lord and thanking him for direction. I understand that he\u2019s saying, \u2018Go!\u2019<\/strong> And because I have his direction now, and I\u2019m faced with this upcoming challenge that is about to happen,\u00a0I am not shaken.<\/h6>\n
Here I am, in a place I\u2019ve never driven before\u2026I have directions from Google printed out on paper\u2026but still I take a wrong turn and have no idea where I am and my GPS on my phone has stopped working. I pull into a parking spot and call Bob. I get back on the road. The paper with my directions say to turn left; but Bob said I need to turn right. I am in the wrong lane and I can\u2019t get over. I tell him I’ve got this and I hang up. When I get to the street that\u00a0I think is correct, I see that the streets are all torn up and under construction. I drive down a one way street the wrong way, and the place I\u2019m looking for is north, not south, I am in the wrong place\u2026.Let me tell you right now if I had not gotten that direction from the Lord I would have said, \u201cForget this I\u2019m not doing this, I\u2019m going home.\u201d But\u2026I had heard from God and I knew I was to Go.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
I drove over the torn up road,\u00a0full of\u00a0big holes, and I managed to get to the correct road. Now I’m heading in the right direction. Talking to Bob from my cell phone he led me to where I needed to be and I got there just in time to meet who I needed to meet and to sign up for what I needed to sign up for.\u00a0Let me also say that when you do get to your destination and you see a familiar face, it sure does feel good. Finally that part of the process was finished but there are still unknowns to be conquered. Although I now, know, that God is in this. I have faith in Him and know, without a doubt, he will lead and guide me the rest of the way.<\/h6>\n
If you are facing uncertainty, and you don\u2019t have clear direction and you find yourself on the wrong road, going the wrong way, turn on your radio, do not be afraid, don\u2019t give up\u2026and ask the Holy Spirit to help you. He is the best GPS you will ever need\u2026he promises to be with you, in you and he will never leave you.<\/h6>\n
Oh, and as I was leaving, I heard the song\u2026No turning back<\/em><\/strong>\u2026LOL!<\/h6>\n

I have decided
\nI called out his name
\nI\u2019m following Jesus now and
\nHe knows the way
\nI made up my mind
\nI leave it behind<\/h6>\n
No turning back
\nNo turning back
\nI\u2019m moving on
\nNot looking back
\nI\u2019m giving him
\nAll that I have
\nNo turning back
\nNo turning back<\/h6>\n
Though I may wander
\nI am not lost
\nSo many distractions
\nBut I, I look to the cross
\nI made up my mind
\nI leave it behind<\/h6>\n
No turning back
\nNo turning back
\nI\u2019m moving on
\nNot looking back
\nI\u2019m giving him
\nAll that I have
\nNo turning back
\nNo turning back<\/h6>\n
You want to come with me
\nHe loves you the same
\nOh, won\u2019t you come with me?
