Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom;
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene--one step enough for me.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed, scared, uncertain or afraid of what the future holds? I do. All the time. It's so unclear to me how my life is going to turn out.
Will I stick with this major?
Will I be a choir teacher?
Will I teach before I have kids?
When will I get married?
Who will I marry?
How will I know I should marry him?
Will I stay at BYU-Idaho?
The questions the questions. When I got up to school in September, I thought that all of the answers should be clearly laid out for me. And when they weren't I got so frustrated. I did a lot of praying and negotiating with God but still, the future eluded me.
Slowly I began to realize that it didn't matter if I don't know EVERYTHING right this very second. I can exercise some faith and remember that I have a Father in Heaven who is directing my steps and He's not going to let me screw up my life as long as I stay close to Him. The words to this song hugely impacted my life and understanding.
Whenever life begins to scare me, I remind myself of those final words of the verse
It's all going to be ok. There is a plan. I have faith in that. There is a God, I have faith in that. And that is enough for me, for now.One step enough for me.
