Have you ever made plans and then changed them and changed them again? Been there. Done that. More times than I\u2019d like to admit. And it reminds me of Proverbs 16:9, where it reads: A man\u2019s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. <\/i>I love how God is the Director of my steps!<\/span><\/p>\n

So how has God been directing my steps, or in this case, the timing of my annual ministry trip up north? God\u2019s been tweaking it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It started out on the calendar for July. Then my son, Tyler, made plans to move to Florida sometime between May and August of this year. A tad vague, wouldn\u2019t you agree?<\/span><\/p>\n

After praying about it, I put my plans on hold and prioritized being around for whenever Tyler would eventually arrive. That ended up being the last part of May, and it\u2019s been a special time of reconnecting with him. As the picture shows, he makes mundane trips to Walmart interesting, to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After Tyler settled into his new job, I dusted off the itinerary and wrote my trip in for the month of August. And then God tweaked my plans again! <\/span><\/p>\n

Our Advancement team was tasked with planning and making happen various stations, events and venues for Global Focus Week at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. I knew it wasn\u2019t a small task and that we\u2019d do best to have \u201call hands on deck.\u201d And so, after praying about it, I once again erased the trip from the calendar. And I\u2019m glad I did. We still have a lot of preparations to make for that week-long event. The picture below is a mock-up of some ideas we\u2019re working on. Prayers are appreciated! <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ministry trip is<\/i> back on the calendar again, this time for September, with plans to end the trip by participating in Global Focus Week at Liberty. And after that, I\u2019ll be driving the rest of the way home. At least that\u2019s the plan!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for partnering with me in the changing plans that God brings into my life. The end goal, no matter what steps the Lord has me taking, is to see unreached peoples around the world come to know Him. Thank you for being part of that!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
