I like to think God does not give us mapquest or turn by turn, but he gives us a compass due north and says GO!

Lesley, Thanks for your post. You have a lovely way of relating the everyday to the divine that’s well written but still accessible. I really need to remember to
follow God’s directions one step at a time, not worrying about the future, but focusing on the next right thing.

“Being the humble person I am, I gifted Katie a day with me exploring LA.”
Hey, that’s the type of gift I’d give too! I mean seriously, what could be better?

I used one of those one-direction-at-a-time GPS’s too, on a rental car one time. Kind of freaky. Your story reminded me of that episode of The Office where Michael and Dwight were in a car with GPS and they ended up following the directions right down a boat ramp and into the lake.

When it comes to taking directions, I love how you bring us into thinking about relying on God even when we can’t see the next step ahead. It’s like what Paul told Timothy: “I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.” I’m convinced too that God knows what he’s doing and that he’s always guarding me every step of the way.

Thanks for helping me think through these things today, Lesley.

Oh, how I desperately need to give up on my own 5-year plan and let God lead me! He is such a better author of life than me. Thank you for sharing and ministering to me today!
