what am i supposed to pray for?:

ok so i know god wants me to do something...
but what is it?
what will 'it' look like?
is it gunna look like going to a bible college?
going to another state?
going to another country?
or am i done with school?
with this office job?
with long beach?

i think im just being impatient.
i can't lie and say i'm waiting patiently because i'm not.
i'd really like god to tell me where i am going and what i'm going to be doing there.
and i'd like him to tell me pretty soon here.
it's like being told by a friend that gives really really good birthday gifts:
"i have a surprise for you!"...
4 months away from your actual birthday.
i mean i love surprises but 4 months is lame.
a week...
maybe even a month.
but FOUR months of suspense!
of course the suspense may not be there every minute of every day
BUT when you do remember that there is going to be a surprise on your day of birth
it leaves you wondering in anticipation.
and you want your friend to tell you but you really know that if friend tells you, the excitement of opening the gift will be more or less an:
'oh, cool'
moment instead of"
'OH MY GOSH THANK YOU!!!'
honestly, which moment would you rather have?
during the moments of waiting, the 'oh cool' moment seems just fine
but i know that we all ultimately know that it's not.

ok enough of my cheesy analogy...
what i am trying to say is this.
i want my gift from god but i want the joy of the day the gift will be given to me even more.
