By I am a planner. I like to make plans and stick to them. I like consistency and seeing the big picture in circumstances. Anytime I am in a situation where there is no solid plan I prepare myself mentally by telling myself that the plan is to be spontaneous. This works well for a trip or a day where things may be in not set in stone. However, when it becomes more about the bigs things in life it is not so easy to do this. Sometimes we have seasons where the path ahead is not clear and all we see is what is directly in front of us. We only one step at a time. I don’t know about you but this drives me a bit crazy because I want to know all the steps.
However, when we only have one step at a time we are dependent on God. We can’t move ahead of the plan or make plans to get to where we think we are going. So here I am in a season where all I can see is one step at a time. There are definitely some changes coming and priorities that are shifting. What that means in the long term, I do not know. What I do know if that there will be some changes over the next few weeks, I see the next step but it is not yet time to take the step. What I do know that that step will open up new steps to take.
While I don’t like uncertainty and not knowing the next step, sometimes I enjoy the curiosity it evokes. What does the next step look like? What new things will take priority? I have some ideas of priorities that are shifting but things are not certain. Right now all that I can see is the next step.
