Drifting towards God’s will. Is this a thing?

What is the difference between drifting along in life and letting God do His will in your life?  I have not really pursued a lot of my life goals because I love God and I want to please Him by doing what He wants me to do in my life. Should I be living this way?  Is this the wrong approach to goals in life and doing God's will?

At A Loss

I find myself facing situations where I just don’t know what to do.  I feel like I am out of my depth, but I have responsibilities and people still look to me to have an answer.  What am I supposed to do?

Raising children in the world, not of the world

As a parent of young children, I want to raise my kids in the faith and help them navigate the world to make good decisions while they are still vulnerable/moldable so that when they grow up and are free to make their own decisions, they still continue to choose Christ. Obviously I cannot shelter them from everything or they will grow up being naïve but I cannot just let them be completely influenced by the world either. Any thoughts on how to let kids be a part of the world but not of the world?
