Sometimes it's ok

Sometimes, it's ok...

to have oatmeal for dinner

to wear a hoodie with work pants

that your favorite jewelry consist of charity bands

to listen to a song five times in a row

to listen to Christmas music before Halloween

to not go to bed before 10pm...ever

(I may or may not have done all those this week today)

You know what else?

It is ok to not know what tomorrow will bring

It is ok not to know your ten year plans 

Who you will marry and what your "life calling" is

It is ok 

You know why?

Because He does

The one who created you, designed you and directing you

You may not know where

He does

You may not understand why

He does

In fact, you don't need to know 

He designed us not to look into the future

He designed us to live intimately with Him today

In trust that He has tomorrow

And the next day 

and forever planned out

Perfectly

I think God knows that if He told me where I was going, I would try and beat Him there

And I would

Instead He passes by me just long enough 

And I get a glance of where He is going 

I don't see the whole path

I barely see Him somedays

But I feel Him 

That quick brush against against my hand deep in my soul 

softly directing me

That is all I need to trust Him

So, though we don't know what our future holds

We know Who holds our future

And that brings me peace

And that is more than ok for me

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6
