We do not have all of the answers on this side of Heaven.
Let us not judge each other. God alone is our judge:
He knows far beyond what we could even imagine.
I am a bit worried that I am not fully understanding of God will and following.
Should I be?
Knowing God's Will is a vast subject that can't be dealt with here. There are books on this subject, the one by J.I. Packer has been popular & useful. However, the only real way is to spend quality time reading the Bible slowly & carefully, talking to God about what you read & what burdens your heart. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to both teach you & to apply the Truths to your heart & life. As well, from my own experience, patience is another key. We live in a world that "wants it & wants it now" - the Spirit's Word & Timing for us is not regulated by our moods & our time clock. To correctly wait for help & direction, we must spend time understanding God's already revealed Will for us in His Word & to "Keep in step with the Spirit": surprisingly, another of Packer's publications!
Your answer was spot on.
I can see you spend a lot of time reading and understanding what God's word is reviling to you.
I often tell my friends: Its not remembering the chapter and verse but what the chapter and verse places in your heart/soul.
Thanks again for your answer.

Jesus Lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior hide, Till the storms of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last.
Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing.
Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin, I am, Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to pardon all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.
