The future is terrifying.

Sometimes just thinking about what's ahead makes my stomach weak.
What's out there for me?
What isn't?
How will I even know where to begin?


In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord detrmines his steps.
Proverbs 16.9

The places, the things, the people that I love...
Will they always be near me -- will I always be close to what I feel is most comfortable?

...say to those with fearful hearts,
"Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with a vengeance; with divine retribution
he will come and save you."
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Isaiah 35:4,10b


Whatever the future holds, whether smooth or tough, long or short, near or far -- God will be my comfort and He has promised to go before me and prepare the way.


Though my flesh and my heart may fail, God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Ps 73.26
