Pearl of Great Price

I've been hearing a song on that topic on Christian radio a lot lately - it's been making me think (well, think more).
It's been making me consider what I'm doing, what I should be doing - what I might be missing.
Is God trying to tell me something? Is He pushing me in a different direction? Is He showing me that I need to be more committed to my current state of events?
Am I not committed enough to what is important to me? To what should be important to me? Are all these thoughts of a fresh start - a different direction to the rest of my life - from Him, or merely my escape from recent events?

I'd like to think that it's from Him. I'm doing a lot better with praying & devotions, and living the way I know I should, but used to be often too lazy to accomplish. Yes, there are difficult days, but now I notice the bright spots that He puts in my life. It's a tough world, but He's ultimately in control.
I tend to rush things. My mind works so fast and so much that it often gets ahead of reality. I wonder if I read too much into things - that my imagination fills in the gaps with non-existant pieces. I know if it's meant to happen, if I'm meant to know - eventually it will all become clear.
I often become interested in something new & exciting, and as I learn all there is to know, I lose interest as something else comes down the road and captures my interest.
This time, I don't see that happening. Rather than feeling less interested in the life still ahead of me & its possibilities, every day gets me more excited!
Everything seems to fall into place, even through the tough spots, and He will accomplish His will in His time!
I'm sure He is using this stage of my life to teach me patience - I need it!

But life goes on so slowly, compared to my thoughts!!!
Couldn't I get just a little hint???
