When I was in seminary I had a professor propose that among God’s traits is omni-competance, that is the ability to deal with what is happening in spite of plans. I prefer that over knowing there is some pre-destined course (this may be why I also don’t use a gps thing). I believe thoroughly that God trusts us to set out on our own and is with us as we make bad and good choices. Conversion happens when our path and God’s converge, and we head off in a new, untried direction – that something New that God wants to share with us as Creation continues to unfold. Prayer no longer becomes a game of guessing God’s heart, but actuallly confering and deciding together what to do or where to go.
The greatest Quest is one where you set out not knowing for what you look, where you will go to find it, or who might help or hinder you along the way. Open mind, open heart, open possibiities is the way to go.

I’m not trying to sound “bitchy” but I find it hard to believe that God has a detailed plan for our lives. It seems to me that “God has a plan for my life” gives us an excuse for failure and someone to blame when life gets out of control.
I believe that there is so much more beauty than ugly in our world and any number of life choices will bring us joy and growth. I believe that growth comes from exploring many possibilities and joy comes from making the best of those possibilities. So often our choices are NOT between “two evils” but rather between “two wonderful blessings”.
