I had good intentions. I had the right motives. I wanted to be useful, and I wanted to help. I was going to invest my time by giving toward these specific needs. These were my plans. This was what I expected. This was my goal. However, I found myself being detoured.
The detour left me uncertain, in distress, and frustrated. I chatted with the Lord; “How could this be?” “This is not where I want to go Lord”; “This is not my plan”. “I am not familiar with this, and I am unable to determine where I am heading”. My Lord was silent. Therefore, I had no choice but to believe. Believe what I knew about him; Hebrews11:1. Believe that He was in control, that He had a plan, He knew better than me; John 8:36. Then I study his word and I was reassured; Romans 15:4. I remembered past experiences where He had been so faithful. So I began to enjoy the ride. I was being expose to new things. He needed me to learn. This was preparing me.
There is certainty now. Certainty in Him. There is also comfort, love and peace; Galatians 5:22. I really am unable to provide details regarding my destination. I do not know where I am headed. I am certainly enjoying his companionship as I ride. I smile as I feel the wind in my hair, and look at the beauty that surrounds me. Most of all, I smile at him. My Lord who is full of surprises.... The one who loves me well...Who knows what He will do next?
