When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books You will be reading meanings. - W.E.B. Du Bois

Questioning Myself
Recently I have been spending a lot of time in my head and trying to determine the motivations for what I do. It's tough to discern the true motivation for anything I do. Where I get screwed up mentally is when I think I am doing something that seems like it would be what God would want me to do but at the same time I can see some selfish motivation behind it. Am I really doing those things for God or is it for me? I have recently started to struggle with an even worse possibility. What if I am so self-centered that my thinking it is pleasing to God is simply me deluding myself into that belief? I don't really see this as a crisis of faith so much as a crisis in discernment. Have I drifted in my faith so much that I can no longer discern the proper path and desires?
