Started off the year with some big goals and took some steps, then lost momentum, getting back to working on those things. There is confusion in my life and sometimes it would be preferable to be in a cell somewhere with no human contact.
Fact is there is a big difference between what God tells me to do and what other believers think God is telling me to do, not to say I am totally obedient, but it is getting annoying to see people focus on superficial, external stereotypes and pay no attention to real issues in somebodies life.
I am grateful for peoples concern, but too often a claim is made 'God told me...' and then what follows is of little relevance or obviously filled with personal bias.
In the outside world I have seen lots of games of 'I know...' 'You know what to do' with lots of assumptions and/or manipulation with little said that can be of any use.
Sorting through good and bad advice is distracting from the real point 'listen to what God says'.
Giving it too him is not quite as easy as it sounds, that can mean sitting in a catatonic state and taking no action at all. But this is preferable to pleasing every human and not hearing from God myself.
