Can you hear me?

I suppose a lot of people spend a good deal of time trying to figure out if they can hear the voice of God. Most people hear it in one way or the other, few audibly. Usually through some sign or event or circumstance...etc,. The problem isn't hearing it, or knowing that it's there...the problem it seems is in the interpretation. Once the voice is heard it is usually followed by some nature of instruction or guidance...and then the real question begins. What then shall I do? What type of action or duty am I to perform because of what I've perceived that God said to me? What am I supposed to change? I suppose as I get older and supposedly wiser, I don't end up with more answers, just more questions. I understand certain things more, and things that I understood to be certain leave me with more questions. Putting aside personal desires and aspirations for something unknown, even sometimes for something known seems to be a difficult thing to let go of. Dreams are personal. Passions are...well, passions. You don't put them aside lightly. I've spent the last 10 years believing that my passions and my desires are an intricate part of what I believe to be exactly the voice and will of God. He's confirmed many of those voices recently and it's amazing to see what happens when you are living and following the path of life that seems laid out for you. So what happens when that path seems to either be ending or taking a different direction totally? Surrender? Now that's a scary word. Can I really give all that up to do something else...is that voice still in me, the same voice I heard as a child? It's a simple word that I hear, only one actually..."go". I wonder if I've been drowning out the voice this whole time or if he's been leading me down the path of preparation and still asking, Can you hear me?
