Center of God's will

Determining whether we are in the center of God's will is quite complex for me. I know I am in the center; at least since Sveta came into my life. I have more assurance that I am on God's path more than I believed for many years. I have reached two of three objectives in my life. One was to find the woman of my dream and God mercifully brought her across my path. The second was to earn a doctorate. The third is to look after orphans in their distress. I wonder how many folks have an objective, but life happens and we find little time for that objective. I have my job to attend to and I actually enjoy my work. On a humorous note, I had a chat with another professor. The students were complaining about their grade for a group project. They commented that he was strict like Dr. Lewis. I do not consider myself strict, but I expect students to follow the standards I set and I provide them ahead of time the requirements in writing. But I digress from the topic. I have various administrative tasks to do; just recently spent hours completing taxes. Thank God that is done and I do not owe Uncle Sam. Now I am working on Sveta's passport application. I am working on pulling together documents and a plan for publishing-I should be publishing on my doctoral work. Also I am contingency planning by putting together documents for teaching part-time on line. Seems like there are a lot of tasks to do and they are time consuming. The good news is that I am not as frustrated as I used to be. I just work on stuff in between the job tasks and other life events. I am basically working from the time I get up until I go to bed. And I am very happy. Even though I gave my life to Christ at 17, it is only in the last 7 years that I experienced a consistent joy. And that is because of Sveta. So am I in the center of God's will. For almost 30 years, I could not say that with a clear conscience. Now I would say, "yes".
