sometimes God tells you something you don't want to hear

Hey all. 
This is going to be an honest post.
We all need a little honesty sometimes.
College is great this year. I love it. But it's a little busy. Not that having things to do is a bad thing. But I often put really important things on the back burner. Such as reading my Bible. 
I was talking to God the other day in the shower (my friend Sydney once told me the bathroom=good place to talk to God). Actually, I was whining a little bit, to be completely honest. I just told Him, "Seriously, God, all I want to know is what I should do and where I should go. Can't you just tell me?" After a few seconds had passed, He showed me a picture of myself holding a huge map, but ignoring it completely. I was trying to find the direction to go without consulting the map. Then He spoke. "You already have what you need. You just aren't using it."
ouch.
God is so good at pointing out things I would rather ignore. 
Needless to say, those are convicting words. 
And a good reminder that I'm far from perfect.
