I've always been one of those people who keeps asking questions. It's how you learn! However the type of questions that I ask now are subtlely different.
Let's look at cars. In the past I used to ask God questions like "What car should I be driving? What job should I have?" And so on.
As I have gone along, I've realised that God is much more concerned about developing our character than anything else. Therefore:
- God cares more about how I drive than what I drive.
- God cares more about I behave to the neighbours than what kind of house I live in.
- God cares more about how wise I am with my money than how much I have.
As I continue to look at my own calling, I've stopped asking God what sort of job I should have. Instead, it's a case of looking at my own skills, identifying the person that I am now, and therefore asking of God "where can I be of the most use?"
I'll keep you posted as to the answer.

Perfect summary and ending to a post. I have to think on those lines more often. I am beginning to turn though that way. Thank you for the reminder. Blessings.
