My plans, His plans …

 
 

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. - Proverbs 16:9

 

So, I’m starting again! After nine months of putting these projects on hold, I’m writing, illustrating, executing.

The ideas are flowing once more, and, oh the plans that I have! I’ve written them on that pad of paper right over there. My goal is at least two comics, one blog post and two to three social media posts per week. Plus, I want to finish The Worrisome Worm video book and get started on the next one. Sounds good, right? I mean, after all, these books are for children and families, to encourage them in the Lord.

Still, I wonder, is this me or is this the Lord working through me? Is it about my goals, my aspirations or His? Has He sent me or am I forging my own way, working in my own strength? Is now the time?

Some may ask, what difference does it make? The answer is: an eternal difference. You see, if I’m not where the Lord wants me to be, doing what He wants me to do, then I’m missing out on what I’m supposed to be doing for Him, what is a part of His plan. So in the midst of all of my excitement, I’m pausing to check in with Him, to make sure I’m in His will. I don’t want to stop again, but I will, if He says so.
