Another Transition? Trust in the Lord.

Life is full of transitions. That's the reason I named this blog like I did. Life has many twists and turns and ups and downs. Sometimes those transitions are small and hardly noticeable. But sometimes they're life changing.

Once again I find myself at one of those transitions where my life will forever be changed- changed for the better.

In a few short months, I will be moving once again to the great state of Washington to marry my wonderful Bethany and start the rest of our lives together. There are a lot of details to work out between now and then and there are times I feel almost overwhelmed by everything. But then I have to stop myself and remember to trust in God.

I'm still learning how to trust in Him. I know that it will take a lot of planning and preparation on my part, but I also know that a critical thing to do is to trust in God that he will direct my paths. God's plan always trumps mine, and I know that whatever he has planned, it is infinitely better and it will happen in his way.

I'm reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6, where it says

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

Right now, with all the worrying about preparations, I have to remember to keep my focus on him and acknowledge him in all I do. That's one of the life lessons that I'm continually learning. God is so much bigger than me, and he can work out things that I can't even imagine him working out. He's already done so much, and I know he will do further.

Those of you reading this- can you be praying for me that I keep my focus on God and trust in him?

Hope you have a wonderful day!
