I have a question, I think I am not called to priesthood, at the very least at this time. I am a horse trainer in Dressage, God has moved me in that direction, There is a training family in Germany, My heart’s desire is to go there and all . I was invited to visit them if I am in Germany. I want to meet them but of course I can’t afford to go. But there is this nagging feeling that I got to meet them. I am not obsessed with them. I contacted them and after a few email exchanges I was invited to meet them and visit them. I pray on it and the feeling is “you’ve got to get there and now.” " that is the key to your heart’s desire." I saw a picture online of that family as they are very famous in Dressage I get a huge peaceful feeling that is where God wants me to go. I looked up obsessions and I don’t fit that profile, as we all got to do our own inventory with prayer to keep our lives and emotions on track. what do you think? I ask myself can I live without them in my life. I say absolutely!! if Dressage is not God’s will, can I live with rebuilding diesel engines or building stereos. or something else. My heart feels absolutely. So I don’t “need” that family in my life, I just get a real peaceful feeling when I ponder the idea. I have dreams of my being with them quite often even when I my mind is on something else which is most of the time. I got to get so many projects done like taking my Mother to radiation and building stereos for a couple of customers so I don’t think about this family much at all, but they are in my dreams and God sometimes shows signs that is where he wants me to be, I think, of course I want to be there very badly, but not to where “if I don’t go there I will die.” advice opinions??? I hope this is the correct place to post this as I feel it is spirituality.
 
I should rephrase this question, how do you know if your hearts desire is what God wants for you. Please someone anyone??
 
I think you’re on the right track. I heard a priest once say, “Only in God’s will, will you find peace.” My advice would be to keep praying for God to lead you in the right direction.

Good Luck!
 
Sometimes these feelings come from God, at other times from ourselves or worse. Get yourself a good spiritual director and follow his advice, and you can rest assured you are doing God’s will.
 
I keep praying and reading, I talked with my spiritual director who is a priest. feels it is a good chance it comes from God. I need to pray more on it and let it rest and see if it grows. I do my own inventory and I am applying for a job and planning on living my life here. but at the same time I am open to the idea of the other. I feel that peaceful feeling from within when I ponder it. I have a friend that wants me to live with him, (not into that and if I live with someone, will be married to Catholic lady) he calls every day he emails me constantly and all that. That is another topic good for spirituality. but I emailed them in a 9 month period three times. or four times. got positive responses so who knows, the point is that I am complete in who I am what I am, without them. Just see a lot of joy is possible being there, but also there is a lot of joy being here. Hard to describe. I just want to know if I am normal, or obsessive even though looking that work up I don’t fit that profile.
 
Seek in your life to do whatever will give God the most honor and glory. Whatever career you choose, do your duties perfectly and to please God; seek only to do His Will while performing your duties and you will be able to live and die a saint. God bless you.

I think that you should develope plan B just in case you get over there and it just dosen’t work for one reason or another. My own experience is that nothing ever works the ideal way we see it. So develope plan B if you have to move on and then you won’t be trapped and terribly unhappy.

Just a thought.

Exactly. If I can get there, I will have a round trip ticket, and go just to meet them, and if it goes south it would be only a week at the most. before I can get back to the plane.
 
Best wishes and hopes that it will a good time for you, at least for a while, and if possible for a long while.
 
I highly recommend reading this book, as I think it will give you some of the answers you are looking for: amazon.com/The-Will-God-Way-Life/dp/0310259630

I guess the whole point of the book is that we humans agonize over the big decisions (i.e. who to marry, where to live, what college to go to, what job path to take, etc.) but the point is that you can do God’s will every day and the big things matter, but if there are 3 paths in front of you and you don’t know which one to take, you can do God’s will in all 3. Remember, Jesus said to follow Him, to love Him with all your heart and our neighbor too, and we can do these things in many places and in many settings. Sometimes God puts something in your heart which is a big thing so I am not saying the big things don’t matter! But God’s will can be done each day, wherever you are 🙂
