Have You Ever Felt That Conviction???

 First let me say that when I am talking about conviction I am not talking about state or federal incarceration.  That would be a different kind just in case you were curious.  It's been my experience that a Spiritual Conviction comes when you least expect it, but exactly when you need it most.  We have recently had a couple things pop up and bite us in the butt lately.  For the first time in my life I feel like this situation hasn't caused me to over react.  Honestly I have felt this coming for a long time.  I turned to God and asked for Help.  Even though I don't have the answer yet, I have a calm and comfort in me that everything will work out.  This might be the first time that I actually ran to God with my problem and not away from him.  Amy didn't respond the same way.  This is no knock on my wife, she is amazing, but she is human, and anxiety can get the best of you sometimes.  This situation triggered some old feelings and memories in her that simply overwhelmed her.  I get it sweetheart, I really do.  We have been trying to work the problem, but with Gods Help and Guidance.  Sunday we are sitting in Church listening to Brandon deliver his sermon (which btw was excellent) and he mentions that you don't see the plan or path laid before you until you are already on it.  This is my interpretation of it.  You don't know or understand the choices laid before you until later on down the road.  Hindsight is 20/20.  When you reflect on things you see why things happened the way they did.  This was a huge Spiritual Conviction for both of us and we understood this at about the same time.  Does this change our current situation?  No, but it changes the perspective on why it is happening and how we are approaching it.  Letting Jesus Take The Wheel and having Faith that He will Guide Us to where we are supposed to be.  Wherever that may be.  You need to let go of That Wheel, Let Jesus take Control and Thank Him for the help.  Listen to everything going on around you, paying attention to even the little details.  God is talking to you right now, waiting for your response with uncanny Patience.  All you need to do is listen and follow Him.  Start a conversation with Him.  Have Faith that God has your back and would never lead you astray.
