Two posts in two days, that must be like a record!

I've been learning lately that God's will isn't some mysterious plan that we have to desperately search out and agonize over every life choice we make. (Ephesians 1:8-9 “… In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed.”)
It doesn't really matter what we do in our lives (who we marry, what school to go to, what job to take, what to buy...), all He wants for us is to love Him (by keeping his commands) and to love others. He wants us to become like Him, and it doesn't really matter what our job description is. (1 Thessalonians 4:1,3 “Finally then, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you out to walk and please God, that you excel still more… For this is the will of God, your sanctification.”)
I didn't feel "called" to work at the restaurant or to choose the schools I did... I just did it. Did I miss out on "God's plan for my life" by going to Belhaven instead of somewhere else? Why wouldn't He want us to do things we enjoy doing and are good at? Why are we afraid that God won’t want us to do something that we want to do? Why wouldn’t He want us to be happy? It’s a freeing thing to learn.
“God hasn’t called us to put ourselves through the misery of over-spiritualizing every decision. As you aim to please Him, let God be mysterious without insisting that every decision you make has to be infused with mind-boggling mystery. Move forward by focusing on who God is rather than delaying and demanding that He first assure you that His plan for your life is risk-free and hurt-free.
Step out in faith rather than waiting for “signs” or impressions to confirm what God wants you to do. You should never take instances of special revelation and make them normative for our Christian experience today unless God tells us to expect that.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit and immerse yourself in the word of God. His guidance is less specific and empirical and more personal and transformational. His will is for us to become mature men and women of God! We have to rely on His word, being renewed by it, pray, and step out trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us.” (church bulletin)

I do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know the hope of His calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe… that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the fullness of God. (Ephesians 1:16-19, 3:14-19)
