What's next?

I was sitting here in my office thinking about all the things that have happened these past few weeks and I was just asking God, "what next?" I wasn't meaning it in a bad way, just a question, what's next? I know that my wants are not always His wants for me. I may want to run away sometimes and like a ostrich just stick my head in the sand and pretend no one can see me. When I do that it just means my butt has a big bullseye on it and I will probably get shot. So what do we do? In the Bible I don't know how many times the characters asked God, what's next? In most of the cases we see God just waiting for them to realize they needed Him. There is not a magic formula or magic saying that brings everything into focus. In Moses' case, he spent 40 years in the wilderness until God came a knocking and gave him his mission. I'm not very good at waiting, or you? I want the answer to my prayer when I say "Amen" if not before! I'm like the man who prayed for patience and he told God, "I want it NOW!!! I don't know if this makes any sense but I guess I'm learning to wait on God. Still not very patient!
