Googling God's Will

I was recently asked a very serious question.  A question that could change the course of my life and career.  

It kept me up at night for 6 weeks.  I did all the right things-or the things I was taught.  I prayed.  I sought the council of many wise people who loves me and know me well.  Read my Bible.  Took long walks.  Meditated.  

Still,  there was no clarity.  (Or, maybe I could not hear the answer because I had my fingers in my ears.)

So,  I Googled the question I was wrestling with.   I really did this.

I Googled God's will for my life.  It was about as helpful as the old Magic Eight Ball that we would shake to get answers when we were kids.  (You can Google Magic Eight Ball if you don't know what it is.)

I did learn some facts from the Google search,  but, ultimately, it did not help me get any closer to my decision.  

Imagine-something Google cannot do.
 
The truth is my decision (if you can call it that) came from time and the time honored path of paying attention and listening, to God, myself, and those who love me.
