I Need More Details

Through the process of being human and continuing to grow and learn, I have been asking God some questions.  I think I have a pretty good plan worked out and if God would just cooperate with me, tweak a few details, everything would be just fine.  However, even if I think my plan if fool proof, apparently God has other ideas.  Before anyone tries to argue, I do agree that God knows better than me.  I know that when God does His thing, my things are even better.  However, before He works things out, I spend some time questioning what it is He's actually doing.  I simply want to know what the plan is.  If He would just answer some questions for me, clue me in on the time line, I would be a lot more willing to go along with it.

All this thinking made me ponder on Moses for a while last night.  Poor Moses...he was just wandering through the desert, minding his business, not really believing in anything at this point, but lo and behold, a flaming shrubbery starts talking to him. We find him in Exodus 3 with God sending unsuspecting Moses on a mission.
¹⁰ So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
 ¹¹ But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
 ¹² And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you^[b] will worship God on this mountain.”
 ¹³ Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
 ¹⁴ God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.^[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
 ¹⁵ God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD,^[d] the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’
   “This is my name forever,
   the name you shall call me
   from generation to generation.

I would have a lot more questions than Moses.  I would want a well-structured plan.  I'm a detailed planner, so I would be bugging God for a while.  However, God only gives two answers in this dialog.  "I will be with you" and "I AM WHO I AM".  I understand that God isn't confined by time and He knows better than me.  What I was thinking about is how frustrated Moses must have been to only receive two answers.  Do you think he walked away from this mumbling to himself?  I know, I know, he probably didn't walk away focusing on the little details.  I mean, Yahweh just spoke to him in a very real way.  I'm sure he was thinking more about that and not about the shell of a plan that God just laid out for him.  But if we look at it from a logistical standpoint, I would be wondering how this is going to shake down.  When are we leaving?  What do we need to pack?  What route should we take?  How do we get in to speak to pharaoh?  God did give Moses the tools he needed, but I don't know that I would have walked away from this interaction without some trepidation.

I can't help myself from wallowing in the details.  I can't seem to remember that God has already been in and is in the details now.  I can't seem to remember that God is working good into all my stuff.  I can't seem to be content with the fact that God is and is with me...always.  Why does that not seem to be enough?  I guess it always goes back to "the sin that so easily entangles" (Hebrews 12:1), unbelief.  Deep down, I don't believe that God is who He says; that He doesn't have time for my details; that He's not working it out.  I need to repent...again.
