We make our plans, but God directs our path. Let Him be your journey’s guide.

I have been listening to God for something very specific. Something that He laid on my heart and told me to trust Him for. In the interim I have been trying every road that looked like it would get me closer to the promise. Oddly, as I have been doing my quiet time the Lord has been showing me the importance of not finding my own road, but waiting for Him to reveal the road I am to travel. I, however, have never been the immediately obedient type. No, I usually have to fail over, and over, and over again before logic kicks in. Wanna guess how “the following my own road”  has been going. Yup, you’re right…Not well. I am on vacation right now and during this time of “doing nothing”, God has been teaching me (oddly until today I didn’t even realize I was learning). Today I received an email that may or may not be the thing that changes my future from this point on. The point, we make the road harder when we hear God’s direction, but try to reach it on our own. It remains to be seen where this new road will take me… However, this time I won’t be achieving it in my own strength.
