Faith

Tim and I are trying to decide what to do about a decision we need to make. Do we do the prudent thing and make plans "just in case"? These are plans that God has brought to us but we're not sure they are the right plans. Or do we wait and see what is in store and then act on that information?

Scripture says faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Am I sure of what I hope for? Not exactly - if one scenario happens, then I have a whole set of "hopes" for that and if another scenario transpires, then a different set of "hopes" comes into play. So while I may be sure of the hopes, I'm not sure what road I will be on to know what to hope for! (Does that make any sense?) Am I certain of what I do not see? Yes, in terms of a sovereign God caring for us but no, in terms of the concrete future plans.

Maybe through this blog, I've talked myself into waiting to see what comes. I don't wait well tho. Don't know many who do. But perhaps the greatest lesson of all of this will be what I learn through waiting and not planning.

Still, just to make sure, I think we'll confer with a few wise people we know for their sage advice. A new perspective or a tidbit of wisdom is always welcome.
