I just realized something perhaps a bit profound – for me at least. And that is this, that it is not incumbent upon me that I come up with the perfect plan for living my life. That includes choosing the perfect career path to follow or the perfect course of study should I return to school to pursue a higher degree. I am in no way possessing the miraculous powers needed to correctly see into the future in order to devise a perfect plan of action. Rather, one who knows me intimately is even now directing my steps and taking me where He wills.
I wish to be more sensitive to the gentle tug and lead of His hand rather than wildly thrashing about in pursuit of seemingly endless possibilities for my future that threaten to drown me with their sheer enormity. My job is only to make my calling and election sure. As to what tasks I am to do…well they will be clearly assigned and duly noted when the timing is right. For now, I am to continue walking in the present light that I have been given, which is all He asks of me.
