so... what do you want?

I was talking to my friend last night - the best friend and brother anyone could ask for.  And he asked me the same question that he asked me to contemplate a few months ago... What do you want?

During this transition, I have prayed (a lot), "Father, what is Your will for my life?"  Other prayers include, "Where do you want us?", "What should I do?" and "What do you want from me?"  I have a hard time thinking, much less praying, "What do I want?"  It goes against what I have been taught, or at least what seems right to me... But its not about me.
So what if God showed up at my door and asked, "What do you want to do, Tony? What would bring you joy - feed your passion?"
It was interesting that after I had just finished a conversation with Donna about looking for any job, reaching for any thing, I had another conversation, being admonished to not settle for just anything!  To go for the position where I would thrive. To seek "the best" instead of being willing to settle for "the good". I think God is worth it, and I think that He may even want that for me.
Thanks Jim!
