Good of God?

There you are: casually living your life, existing without any hindrances or obtrusive entanglements when suddenly...

BAM!

You find yourself flat on the ground, looking up at the sky as the clouds spin wildly out of control above you thinking, "What on earth just broadsided me? And what do I do about it now?"

No, it can't simply be the casual things- you're staring into the face of something that has the potential to shape the rest of your life. Doors that might be opened... Others that might be closed. Balancing between the all-encompassing question:

"Is this good? Or is the God?"

Then all of a sudden it hits you: What if there isn't really a right or wrong in this situation? What if it isn't a test of whether or not you will choose to follow His will. Its just choosing how God will manifest Himself to you...

The footsteps of the righteous are ordered by God...

But where do the next set of footsteps begin?
