The future is so unclear and unknown. There is only One who knows what it holds for my life and yours. We must trust and depend on Him to show us the way and light the path before us when we are not sure which way to go. His plans are greater than any plans we might make for ourselves. Sometimes He wants us to go in a different direction, a way we said we would never go. He wants to push us and make us the best we can be to serve His purpose for our lives on this earth. We need to wait for Him to open the door for us instead trying to push through a slightly cracked window or a door that is being closed.
It’s hard when you thought you had chosen the right direction only to continually realize that it was not the way you were supposed to go. It leaves you feeling uncertain and having yet another decision to make, one of which you do not want to make because you might make the wrong one once again. You hope that the next decision you make will be the correct one and that it is the path He has set out before you and the door that He has opened for you, not one you have opened for yourself.
Maybe thinking about something that you always said you would not do or going to a place you said you would not go. Being able to go to a school surrounded by Christians instead of the a placed which revolves around the world and all its worldly ways is a better choice than being continually sucked dry by the typical public university.
I don’t know if this is the path I am supposed to be taking but that is where I am heading now. A place I said I would never go to school for a degree I said I did not ever want to get. Sometimes God really gets you when you said you do not want to do something…! I am very thankful that through all these decisions I have to make, I have a family who loves and supports me. Who are there to encourage and lend a listening ear and a voice of opinion when I do not know what to do.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”
– Proverbs 3:5-6
