"For I know the plans
I have for you," declares
the Lord, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope
and a future."

I'm not the kind of gal who can just get up in the morning and start running and then sit down at the day's end feeling satisfied and accomplished. I get too caught up in the moment and my curiosity will lead me on a wildly erratic path through the day - a bit like the flight of a butterfly hopping from one thing to another. I need a pencil and a day planner so that I have a plan of attack.
I've gotten kind of used to planning my days... my weeks.... my life, even. And to be honest I am not comfortable when I come to blind doors in my life where I know I have to make a turn and can't see where the turn is leading.
The doorway in this photo has two paths leading from it, though you can only see one. Life is full of those kinds of surprises, unexpected paths or opportunities. I'm glad to know that nothing surprises God. He looked ahead in time while he was forming the world and knew every step I would take. I know he has great plans for me, sometimes I just wish He would let me in on the secret! But that's what faith is all about isn't it? Trusting when you can't see your own way.
