Discerning God's Will
I'm one of those who believes that, generally speaking, "if it isn't sin, it's an option". That is, God's will for His children is much broader than some would assume. It seems from Scripture that God is far more interested in who you are than where you are, for instance. He is far more involved in developing your character than your career. He's far more concerned about the kind of spouse you are than who you chose for a spouse. God's will is our salvation, our sanctification, and that we keep in step with His Spirit. All the rest of our decisions should reflect the reality of these larger realities. Proverbs calls it the way of wisdom--factoring in God's existence and our relationship with Him into all we choose to do. There is great freedom in this. And, as a corollary, there is great responsibility. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hey dad, thanks for posting this. I just came by tonight and it completely brought the final confirmation about my choice for next year and a pouring out of peace. God IS who I think He is... Thanks for speaking truth in love.
