Strange what happens when you let God make the plans.
Don't get me wrong, this year was tough. Marked with lots of fear, anxiety, and insecurity! There were many moments I did not understand what was going on or why God had me there. I am still trying to figure out the reason I experienced some of it.
But if I have learned nothing else, it's that His plan is indeed perfect. So is His timing. As I sit here in my new room in New Orleans, I am having to remind myself of that truth. Seminary was not in my plans. I don't know where this path is going to take me. I am simply trusting that He has me here to prepare me for whatever it is that He has planned for my life. And waiting in faith for Him to reveal that to me.
"However, faith is more than intellectual assent to revealed truth: it is the practical submission of our entire being to the guidance and control of that truth."
