It took me a little longer to reflect on this reflection... a lot of pondering, praying and wrestling.
So, the question was: what are you wrestling with God over right now?
The answer was briefly mentioned in the podcast: wrestling over figuring out the path I will follow for the rest of my life. I think a lot of people wrestle with the same issue, waiting to hear what to do next. People at different stages in their lives feel that there is some kind of unfinished business to deal with. I am not necessarily unhappy with the decisions and choices I have made in my life, because I think they've helped shape the person I am today. I kinda like the person I am today... still need improvements though.
Struggling with the desires of my heart. I was talking about the meaning of receiving the desires of my heart with someone, and she made a very good point. She believes that God does answer our prayers and give us the desires of our hearts, but she added that we are not the ones who place these desires in us... God does! Just to be clear, I am not talking about meeting Anderson Cooper (although...) I sometimes wonder how Jacob's story would have ended if he got tired and decided to stop wrestling. I believe that God gives us second, third, fourth, n-th chances to redeem ourselves; but it's always easier when we answer the first time.
Still wrestling to obtain and understand my next set of instructions. In the meantime, I am going to keep walking, trusting, learning, asking... Just not ready to let it go.
To be continued..
