Pulling out my laptop, opening Word and my saved web pages, intent on putting my thoughts to my blog, I get stopped. Word won\u2019t work, the internet doesn\u2019t connect, or the screen freezes when I try to save my blog. Stubborn, I keep trying, and finally, the point hits me, God doesn\u2019t want me writing now, or He doesn\u2019t want me to publish what I wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, I get the message, delete the words, close my computer, and ask the Lord what He would rather have me doing.

God\u2019s plans succeed where mine fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust God\u2019s direction; if you seem to hit a dead end in your activity, ask the Lord which way He wants you to go.
