And I think sometimes we can get, I'll say me, I don't want to put it on you.

I can get caught in this, like, make it so clear.

And the Lord's like, I have literally made it clear.

The door is wide open.

And I'm just like asking for this clarity.

maybe profound sign or signal or confirmation.

And I just wonder if the Lord's like, I really have made it abundantly clear.

And I just don't want to live a life of striving and forcing doors open.

I've done that before and it's an icky feeling when we really force something.

And so I would ask in the discerning process, what are the doors that are open to you?

Could that be the Lord being like, hey, look, I've made a way.

And then the last one, which can be really tricky, but I actually think it impacted me profoundly in that season and continues to is desire.

And that one can get weird because we misquote Psalm 37 for delight yourself in the Lord and he'll give you the desires of your heart.

Well, I have not gotten every shoe I've wanted.

I have not gone on every vacation I've wanted.

I'd really love to go to Singapore someday.

You know, I've got a lot of desires I've not done.

But when you think about that verse, delighting in the Lord, like again, like we talked about with scripture, it's not just like delight in the Lord.

He's good.

I love him.
