My Path
I've really been doing some extensive thinking about the path I want to take doing Christ's work and I guess I need some help from everyone. I need all the prayers I can get in hopes that I can receive a true sign pertaining to what and who I am in Christ. I want to know my spiritual gift, but I don't know what to ask and what to look for and who to listen to. I know this is probably a pretty lame request, but I'm kind of stuck between who I think I am and who God wants me to be. Am I the only one who ever feels this way? How do we know what path to take?

I have read this before and it always enlightens me everytime I read it. I feel the same as you. I am searching...who am I with God or who should I be? I just posted something for you to read. I tried to put it on this comment but it was to long. That fact that you are searching shows you are on the right path
I faced the same questions at one time in my life. I was trying to balance between having a career and serving the Lord. In my experience, I have known people who wanted to serve the Lord and came to their own conclusion and sort of "struck a deal" with God to get busy doing His work. I have found that is NOT a calling, rather more self serving. I've seen that happen to people and it usually ends up with confusion and doesn't really work as they envisioned. I strongly believe that as you seek (which you are doing right now), God will reveal His plan for you in His time and it will be the right time. I really think that the Lord is allowing you to go through this time of searching, learning, testing the waters, so that when He opens that door - you will know without doubt what He wants you to do for Him. There are so many areas of Ministry and personally, I can see you filling many of them. But that's not for me to tell you - only God. I want to allow you to spread your wings in many areas here at Hinkle which in turn will hopefully give you insight as you bathe each one in prayer. I can tell you with certainty that you WILL know in your heart what that gift is and how to exercise it when the timing is right. It is something that burns in your spirit and you can't escape it. It will be absolutely real without any doubts. So, in the meantime, relax,keep on keeping on, enjoy the ride, and it will come. I see many gifts in you Will, but I am not the one to tell you anything since all of that can only come from God. Remember - seek and ye shall find. That's a promise and He keeps His promises. Hope I haven't muddied the waters more for you. Just want you to relax, wait, and enjoy. He WILL tell you. I'm looking forward to that day and just know I'm here to support you 100% and will help you in anyway I can.
