Moving To The Unknown
When my family packed up and moved to St. Louis, we had a plan. We were going to plant roots, buy a home, and settle in for the long haul. I never imagined that just one year and three months later, I’d be terminated.
If I had known this was part of the plan, I never would’ve moved. But that’s the thing—I didn’t know. I just took the leap, trusting that GOD was leading me.
We like to have everything mapped out. We want to see the full picture before we take a step. But faith doesn’t work like that. GOD often calls us to move without showing us what’s next. And let me tell you—that’s hard.
I thought I was moving toward stability, but instead, I found myself in a season of uncertainty. I questioned everything. Did I hear GOD wrong? Did I make a mistake? Why would He lead me here just for things to fall apart?
But here’s what I’ve learned: Just because the journey is unexpected doesn’t mean it’s not GOD-ordained.
If I had known how hard this season would be, I never would have taken the leap. But sometimes, not knowing is GOD’s mercy. If He showed us the whole path—the struggles, the setbacks, the waiting—we might be too scared to move. So instead, He asks us to trust Him one step at a time.
Abraham didn’t know where he was going, but he went.
Moses didn’t know how the Red Sea would part, but he walked forward.
Peter didn’t know if he’d sink, but he stepped out of the boat.
And me? I didn’t know how this season would shake me, but I moved. And now, even in the confusion, I’m learning that GOD’s plan is still good—even when I don’t understand it.
What’s Next? I Don’t Know, But GOD Does.
I don’t have all the answers yet. I don’t know what’s next, but I know this—GOD didn’t bring me here to leave me. The same GOD who called me to move is the same GOD who will guide me forward. My job was never my security—He is.
So if you’re in a season where the next step isn’t clear, keep trusting. Keep walking. Keep believing. Because the unknown isn’t scary when you know Who is leading you.
