"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."
Soren Kirkegaard
It is so difficult some days to know God's will. I sometimes think He's hidden it under so many layers of possibility, so that we have to dig and discard the many options He offers to find what it is He truely wills for us.
Advent is such an ideal time for not knowing; for living the questions without concerning ourselves with answers we haven't been given. It is a time of expectation, of uncertainty, of waiting for what is to come. Perhaps God has hidden His will so that we may fall more completely into the nature of the season and give ourselves over to the story He has written for us.
Do you think God hides his will or rather, are we incapable of seeing it clearly and that's why it's hidden?

I think He makes us work for it at times, because that's part of His will as well. How you get there is as important as where you go.
