We take it one step, one piece, one twist and turn at a time. I’ve always figured if I knew exactly what was coming I’d never go along with Him. He has to keep me in the not-knowing realm enough to need to trust Him fully.

From far away, we see one range looming ahead; but we have no idea until we start traveling into the mountains what terrain, twists, turns, plateaus, valleys and peaks lie ahead. Thank you for sharing…your faithfulness & single heartedness is evident!
Thanks also for visiting my site & commenting. Hope to “see” you again :)

Preparation is good . . . gotta do it . . . but you’re right, it only takes us so far. Eventually we just have to be in the middle of it and seek how God works.

This recent one, I understand your feelings about whether you’re “preparing enough”.

I’ve found that I can be prayed-up, steeped in His Word, and even know a God-inspired detour is coming; yet, still, sometimes those detours throw me for a loop–they go in a little different direction than I’d anticipated or my humanity has a problem with change. I think we can prepare only so much “before” the change (like preparing for motherhood before the baby arrives). But during those times after the detour, this just makes us trust God even more (and maybe have Him carry us through the worst times).
