A thought

"Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"-- yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say "If The Lord wills, we will live and do this or that" James 4:13-15

This passage is one I dwell on a lot in life nowadays. I'm a planner. I like to know what's next. But in reality when do we ever really know what's next? Those of us who have trusted Christ can be sure of one thing, but on this earth it's unpredictable. I don't like definite plans anymore. I don't like saying "this and that will happen" because I truly don't know. I can hope, I can trust, and I can believe that whatever does happen happens for a reason even if I don't know that reason now (or maybe ever). 

This is a strange entry, more like a journal entry than talking to you (reader). But something non the less I wanted to say. 

If The Lord wills.
