I have sooooo many options for next year. And I no roughly what it is I wana do but their are so many different ways I could go about it. I pray to God to show me what I should do but I’m not sure if he has answered. I no which thing I’m leaning towards but I don’t know if it’s just me or God nudging me. How do I no what to do? What do I do next?
Hi Silence Dogood.
I don't have the complete answer to your question, but here's a few tips.
1. If what you're wanting to do is opposed to what you know about God then it's a no no. (God would never call a woman to be a prostitute!)
2. If you are a Christian, and have some idea of what your spiritual gifts are, (and aren't), they can give you some clues. If you can't sing a note in tune, for example, it's unlikely for God to want you to be a singer in a band!
3. God is more interested in your character than your career. I say this carefully, because of course God is interested in every part of your life, but he will work with you and in you whatever your circumstances, even your mistakes.
4. What is your passion? Chances are pretty good that God has placed this passion in your heart, so if you are looking towards doing what is already your deep desire, you could be very much on the right track.
5. Have you got a good friend that you could run your ideas past? A friend can look at things from a different perspective and either encourage you, or point out some things you may have missed.
6. The Bible says that the 'peace of Christ' should rule our hearts. At the end of the day, God want's your best, and so do you. I think he's big enough to scream in your ear if you are going a big fat wrong way! If you are really calm about your direction, it should be OK.
Thanks for asking - hope this helps.
Lord bless.

Type: False Identity.
Summary: Sixteen-year-old Benjamin Franklin pretended to be a middle-aged widow named Silence Dogood. In 1722 a series of letters appeared in the New-England Courant written by a middle-aged widow named Silence Dogood. The letters poked fun at various aspects of life in colonial America, such as the drunkenness of locals, religious hypocrisy, and the persecution of women.
I’m not sixteen any more but I was when I started using it for things online as my name. Any way, thank you for your advice. God bless
