No one really aspires to a mapped-out, prefab life that only attains the expectations of others. Instead of a map for our lives, Christ gives us a compass that empowers us to follow Him in pursuit of His global purpose along with many others.  Claude Hickman, Steve Hawthorne and Todd Ahrend

Clarity is what I’ve been asking God for such a long time.  I crave clarity.  It eliminates faith, reduces following God to predictable, strategic, orderly, sanitized walking.  Clarity makes it easy to play my faith safe.  It takes risk out of the equation.

Trust on the other hand puts skin in the game; i.e. MY skin.  Trust puts my faith on the line.  It is my heart that trusts and my head that craves clarity.

Choose trust in your next steps.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.  Proverbs 3:5
