"We always have a choice to live the moment as a cause for resentment or as a cause for joy." -Henri Nouwen

Moment by moment

My housemate was telling me about a picture she saw once. It had a cliff and a girl who was walking blindfolded off the edge. She had her left foot out and a step had come up underneath her. As she moved her right foot, another step was coming up beneath her. This is how the Lord wants me to live my life. I don’t need to plan for the next 5 years of my life. Or to know what’s going to happen this summer. Or in a month. He will reveal his plan for me moment by moment. Step by step. I need to just keep walking and He will provide the path that will lead me to Him. I need to stop trying to plan the Lord’s plan.
