"The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps."
Proverbs 16:9
We are going to the Dominican Republic.
Our plans were to have the house sold in December.
Our plans were to finish packing and fundraising in January.
Our plans were to be in Guatemala studying Spanish in February.
We are still in Florida. The house hasn't sold. There is still packing and fundraising to do. We are studying Spanish at home through Rosetta Stone. We are still going to the Dominican Republic. Our plan is to be there in June. BUT if we are learning anything through this whole process it is to be flexible, to trust God, and to allow Him to direct our steps. This is surely a lesson that we will learn and relearn (over and over again) on the mission field!
We are trusting God for our next step. We have had lots of traffic on the house in the last week and a possible offer that we are trusting Him for the answer to. Again, it's not what we had planned but we trust that He knows what is best for us. So, I should probably go pack some boxes then work on some fundraising so that I'll be freed up to work on Spanish later this evening.
Unless the Lord has other plans for us ...

God ordering our steps also includes our patience, which at times can be tough. We can not comprehend God's time clock....in the meantime you have your moments to allow God to get you ready. Spiritual growth, pruning, plucking...whatever it takes I know you are ready and willing. Have faith...each and every time HE'S GOT YOU!!! Love you....
SO true! Thanks Susan - love you too!
