God's plans

During my visit to NCC, I felt like I heard really clearly from God.  I was grateful.  One morning while I was doing some meditative journaling, I felt like God was asking me a question:

"Sarah, do you understand me?"

I was taken aback.  I though for a sec.

"Well, um, no.  Not really.  I mean I guess I get glimpses of what you're like, but I would go with a 'No, I don't understand you.'"

He replied quickly but gently.

"Well then why would you understand my plans?"

Touche.  It was a moment of clarity, and I was (and am) grateful for it.

Since that time, I've been able to embrace a lot more uncertainty.  I've spent a lot less time trying to figure things out, and a lot more time just trying to seek God instead of just seeking His will or guidance for what comes next.

If I am following God, He will reveal in His timing what comes next.
If I am following God, the details of what comes next are a lot less important than the process of learning to trust Him unconditionally.
If I am following God, really the rest just matters a whole lot less.
And that is liberating.
And I am grateful.
