VOTE, God's will be done?

I have faced many crossroads in my short life of 33 years, but I always will remember this one time...

I was in a place of uncertainty, but I felt so certain.  I was only willing to accept what I wanted over what I truly needed.  I remember asking my mom "what should i do?"  She looked at me and said "pray for God's will to be done."  I replied "well, what if I don't want God's will?"  She answered, "You ALWAYS want God's will to be done."

She was right.

I was willing to do wrong in hopes of one day to be doing right.  It wasn't about WHAT I wanted, but what I was willing to do to get it.  The end didn't justify the means.

So, whenever I feel I have a need that hasn't been met, I remind myself of a man I saw walking down the street wearing only 1 shoe.  I yelled out "hey man, you lost your shoe!"  He quickly replied, "no, I didn't. . . I found one!"  

God's will is perfect. It won't always be what you want, but it will always be what you need.
