What do I Want?

I'm having a hard time lately understanding what I want... and if it's OK to want it.

If it's really not about me, and it's about God, then does it matter what I want? I think it does... I don't think God doesn't want me to want things, but I think He does want me to want the things He wants for me, because His ways are higher than mine and His plans no one can fathom.

I guess the trouble I'm having, then, is knowing whether or not something I want right now is something God wants. But how do I know? Should I just go after something, hoping that maybe it's what God has in mind, or do I sit around and wait for a "sign?" I've just felt so passive for much of my life and I'd like to be a little more active. I feel like if I pursue something that is a mistake then God will let me know one way or another.

I heard someone say something that has stood out to me: A person surrendered to God can never make a wrong decision.

I guess as long as I am surrendered to God, then no matter what choice I make it can't be wrong because it will be in His hands. Even if the decision doesn't turn out to be the "best," I believe God can use any situation and turn it into something better than we imagine.
