...the Lord determines your steps

So, I am at the end of my first week as Campus Missionary at UMHB...and I'm loving it! That's not to say that it hasn't been stressful and surprising, because it has. I wasn't able to move in until a day after I got here, then my air conditioner was broken and didn't get fixed until yesterday. So, it wasn't until last night that I really got to start putting my stuff up- it was just way too hot for me to be in here too long. There's one verse that has continuously been brought to my mind this week: "In his heart a man plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps." (Proverbs 16:9) I think this is becoming my theme verse for the year!
I am a planner, so for a lot of areas in my life I tend to plan what needs to happen. But, sometimes we can have it all planned out perfectly in our mind, but God has a master plan that is way better. I pray that this year I'll be able to step back some. I know planning is important, and it's good to have some kind of plan for the future, but there comes a point where you just need to let God work. I know what I would like my plans to be after this year, but I'm trusting God with my future and know that He is directing my steps!
