What is ahead?

There are times in our lives when we are standing on the bridge as you pass to the next part of your life. I was there during the summer before I left for college. I was there when I had applied to over 20 school districts yet had not received a job. I stood on a bridge and looked in awe when I was packing our house before we moved overseas. I am again standing there. We have our house on the market and we've been talking to a friend in South Africa who is starting a school there. Are we supposed to move to South Africa? Are we supposed to contact the mission board to go some where else in the world? I am about to set up camp on this bridge because I don't see the other side. But one thing I have learned, God places these bridges in my path. I can either be anxious and fret over what is next or I can enjoy the view from the bridge. I wish that I had the map in front of me with a detailed key, but I know God's plan for me is good. I have been promised that God will give me a future to prosper me and bring me hope.

So here I am, on my bridge, waiting to see what is ahead.
