Even though I am fully aware of my leaving in August, it is still very strange to tell others my future plans. I know I'm going to Uganda, but it still blows me away for some reason. At Central, graduation for the high school seniors was this past week and we spent sometime on Sunday listening to them talk of their future plans. When I was in their stage of life (three years ago) I had my next 10 years mapped out....90% of what I'm doing now is not anywhere close to the plans I had then.
Several of the seniors have not committed to a life plan, a major, or even a school yet, but are simply waiting for the blanks to be filled in on God's timing. I'm not disappointed in not following the plans I had leaving high school, in fact where I'm at now is so much better than what I had planned anyways. As my plans changed over the years I did not understand why, and I still don't, but I listen to the One leading me anyways.
As I was spending time in the Word this morning I was reminded of the fact that it's okay to not understand what you're doing or how you got there.
"A man's steps are from the LORD; how then can man understand his way?"
Thankfully we are not required (or expected) to always understand, but to simply obey. Obedience after all, does not require understanding, but action.
