Exian, I read your posts above.
Most of us have had the same reaction- I didn't do anything wrong, same reaction I exhibit when my wife has been upset w/ me.
Then we look a little deeper......... oh, I did that? I did the other thing?
This goes especially for guys.
We always want to be "In charge", the masters of our own destiny.
Coming down off that platform is really difficult.
Admitting the rudder on the big ship doesn't work real well and the realization we are heading into unchartered water is the first step to reality.
Look at a kid.
The kid would rule, not only the parents but the entire house if they were allowed to have their own way- unless the kid is brought into focus with reality.
It is for their own good.
We are all like that kid.
God has chosen to let circumstances bring reality rather than Him stepping in front of us (what everyone here wants- a direct face to face encounter).
As the ship is plowing along, it would be wise to ask- "God of Heaven, show me the way. Are you real?"
