Wait Patiently or Walk on Water?

I am longing for a change. I would like to try something new, something radical. It’s been a while since I’ve been having this feeling inside of me and I really don’t know what to do. I don’t want to become desperate and because of this make a stupid choice. But on the other hand, what if this is the moment to take risks? What if all that is needed from me at this moment is to take the step of faith and walk towards what I still can’t see?

Do you ever get tired of your current situation? What do you do? I know there are times to just wait and wait, but have you ever missed something because you were waiting for a change when you were supposed to be taking the risks in a specific situation?

It’s been months now that I am fighting this waiting/faith/risks battle and still have no idea as to what I’m supposed to do. For some of this decisions time is running short, December is the deadline for one of them and I have nothing to say about what I’m doing on it. Sorry if I’m being very vague I just can’t go into all the details.

At this moment I don’t know if I should wait patiently or if I should dare to walk on water.

What has worked for you in cases like these?

    I say have faith in yourself and the Higher Powers. If you're moving in the wrong direction the Fates will warn you if you listen. And ask for their protection. Many people who are friends and/or crossed my path the past three year and myself have been experiencing restlessness and a feeling that it's time for a change. For me, it is my passion for music and my love of writing that has caused me to attempt a huge career change at an age old enough to be your mom. From someone who put things off out of fear of the unknown for way too many years, take the plunge now when you are young, it will give you more years to find out where you are supposed to be physically, emotionally and spiritually.

    Peace

    Ever since you posted it, I've been praying for you. I've been in this place more than once, and it's a tough place to be, but God is faithful and with His help, you will make the right choice. Prov. 3:5-6
