Hi sis, good evening! :)
Hmm you sent me an interesting article. The writer focused on her internal journey of learning from life experiences more and more about herself. You asked my opinion. In a sense, I agree with her. From every experience in life, we can learn something, whether the experience was good or bad. When we think about how we responded to it, we realized our strengths and our weaknesses, our inner desires...
But there is also another way to look at life experience, which looks not in (as inside ourselves), but also up (as looking up to God). When we look up, we ask what is God's plan for us, why is He allowing this, where is He leading us to. Sometimes from bits and pieces here and there in our past experiences, we see a pattern, pointing us to a direction. Usually this is not very very clear, so we also need to daily walk with God, talk with Him about this, and listen to Him. We trust that God wants more than anything else, to show us the way, to guide us and lead us. All He wants us to do is to trust and obey.
We all want to quickly know the future, to know how things will turn out, we want God to quickly tell us everything, His whole plan for our lives. But maybe, to God, the journey is as important as the destination. Day by day, as we learn to listen to Him, as we practice trusting Him, as we walk in faith one step at a time even though we cannot see that far ahead, we grow stronger in our faith. In the process, we enjoy sweet fellowship with God. Perhaps this is what God intended all along, perhaps this is why sometimes despite our plead, He did not tell us everything.
So my sister, while you are praying and waiting, take this uncertain period of your life as a special learning time from God, train your heart to listen to His voice, to pay attention to Him. Take time to enjoy this journey with Him :)
God bless,
Lk
