For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying to hear from God regarding what my purpose truly is and what I’m really supposed to be doing with my life. I’ve been doing the entrepreneur/writing/blogging thing for six years now, and while I feel I’m on the right path to figuring out what I’m supposed to be doing, I don’t feel like I know 100%. Well, maybe I do know, but I’m just afraid…

Anyway, for a few days last week, I decided to fast from social media for four hours in the morning so I could hear from Him. Social media can be a big distraction for me (yes, I’m one of those people who checks their social media right when they wake up — I’m working on it!). But I’ve realized that doing that, instead of putting God first, hinders me from hearing from Him (because I’m focused on the wrong thing).

Me being the person I am (a recovering control freak), I’d like to know what God wants me to do NOW so I can move forward. But, of course, I must trust His timing. Interestingly enough, I read a post about that last week on Instagram from Heather Lindsey:

“God hasn’t forgotten about you. He will give you specific instructions concerning what He wants you do to do. So, if He hasn’t showed you, then maybe it’s not time yet. Rest your busy soul.”

Although it can be difficult for me to rest, I’m going to do my best to do so instead of racking my brain and letting my thoughts run wild with all the things I think I should be doing. I believe that God is revealing to me what I need to do little by little, and I’m just going to trust His plan, start taking the steps I need to, and believe Him for the answers I need.
