"I would like to say that I had all kinds of great ideas about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I would like to say my ministry was born out of a carefully thought-out plan. These things simply aren't true, though. I was walking through life one moment at a time, blown away by what God could do through me if I simply said yes."
-Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption
I feel so much this way. Although I have certainly had thoughts about what I could do, I usually just don't know. I just want to rely so heavily on God that it doesn't matter what my 5-year, 10-year, or 20-year plan is. What really matters is my willingness to say yes to His plan. After all His word says, "Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path." (Psalm 119:105 NIV). His word never says that He gives us everything all at once. A lamp does not provide much light, only enough light to see the next step.
Lord, let me always be willing to say yes to you. Let me not worry about what man thinks of me and my lack of a plan. Your plan is so much better than any I could make anyway. In my humanness, give me grace to accept that I cannot see the full plan yet, but to fully trust you. Bless those who read this. Grant them peace in the midst of their journey. I love you, Lord.
Your child,
Emily
