God is calling, but man lets it go to voicemail

DEAR ABBY: I’m 43, and I have been married and divorced three times. I have three adult children and a 13-year-old. My last divorce was final a few weeks ago. I was sure she was The One. Now she wants to give us nine months and see if we are going to reconcile.

I am confused. Years ago, before I married the first time, I thought I was called to be a Catholic priest, but I didn’t listen. A couple of months ago, a good friend who is a priest gave a homily: “Have we ignored God’s call for us in our lives?” I feel I have done just that.

My third ex-wife wants me to wait to see what will come of us. I honestly know the right answer. But, at the same time, I want to do what I want, not what God wants me to do. I know the way He wants me to go, but I still want to do things my way. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
