Kristin, before I ask this question, I want to let you know I am walking this path - trying to figure out so many of these things. I do not intend to offend...

Annoyance is perfectly natural, and I thank you for sharing in honesty. I want to applaud you for that. I did want to ask, do you feel as though you are focused on God's will for your life? I suppose I am wondering if the annoyance comes when you feel as though He does not allow you to do what "Kristin wants" as opposed to you dieing to yourself and submitting to His will?

Let me admit that I struggle with this daily! It is terribly hard to get out of the way - and I definitely don't always do it. I would humbly share that my annoyances with God tend to revolve around my misperception of His intention for my life.

As the saying goes, "A person often finds his or her fate on the roads he or she takes to avoid it." I am trying to pray for Him to allow me to accept His will for my life. I know that might be a bit Zen, but I am beginning to see that the more I do for Him and not for me seems to accelerate my overall sense of purpose.

Blessings to you, and again thank you for sharing.

Warmest Regards,
Ken
