We live the given life, not the planned. {Wendell Berry}

I have been on a huge Wendell Berry kick lately {if you haven’t read any of his books, I highly recommend them}, and when I saw this quote I knew I needed to share it.

Sometimes I feel like I’ve lost my ability to wonder. Like, as I’ve grown up I have settled into responsibility and facts and logic. My personality and character lends itself so easily to what’s straightforward and planned. The magic of the unknown, that was so alluring to me as a child, has become annoying to me as an adult.

This season of my life is reintroducing me to wonder. To moments of seeing the grace of God come alive in my life, and watching His hand lead us down a very unknown path. To believe without seeing is faith, and my faith is increasing as my personal vision is dimming.

I wonder what God has ahead of us. In a little less than two weeks we leave our home, our friends, our church and our stability. Heading out into the great unknown, but knowing the One who is in charge. Talking with Josh, I realize that this is one of the first times in my life where I have no idea what it will all eventually look like. Everything after July 6th is a blank to me.

That’s where the wonder comes in to it all. God can do anything with us!
