what i am living

the heart of man plans his way but the Lord establishes his steps. proverbs 16:9

i have not posted anything about this because i am a "facts person", i like details. if i don't have the facts or the details i would rather not say anything. but, chip and i need wisdom and clear direction from the Lord on our next step in life. the step is upon us. it feels like an escalator. you take the right step at the right time and your journey is a smooth one. you misstep and it could be painful. i am not naive enough to think that God wants our life to be smooth. i know ultimately He wants us to follow Him closely, glorify Him in all we do and in the end look more like Him because He has sanctified us along the way.

more to follow later as i get more information. please just pray for us.

i grabbed my hymnal today to sing/read "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" (psalm 90:1). In getting to it I stumbled upon "God Will Take Care of You" (nahum 1:7). Beside that hymn was "A Shelter in the Time of Storm"(psalm 62:7), "Savior Like A Shepherd Lead Us" (john 10:3), "He Leadeth Me" (exodus 15:3)... The verse reference correspond to the hymn. Thankfully they are posted right under the hymn title for me to take comfort. Apparently this section of the hymn book is for Guidance & Care. I will be camped out here for the next few days/weeks/years.
