Many of you know that I recently took a leave from my workplace through the Christmas Season to care for my ailing dad. What a Jesus story! What a beautiful way to spend the holidays with all of our family! What a gift I will take into eternity with me as in early January, my dad took the Lord’s outstretched hand and walked from this life into the next incredible, incomparable adventure.
Yet, my point is this: Though God often tends to whisper into my heart what will lie ahead, in this season of my journey with Him, He didn’t.

Dear friend, quit trying to predict the future or force an outcome. Listen to the Lord’s words above and truly live one day at a time. Your life at the moment may be perplexing and a puzzle to you. However, He alone holds all the right pieces to make an exquisite picture and you don’t want to mar or miss the beauty and wonder He has in store for you.
