God doesn’t seem to be too heavily swayed by our plans. Maybe we shouldn’t hold too much stock in them ourselves.

Yesterday, me and Caleb were going to go to Eldoret, but God told him to cancel the trip. So we spent yesterday celebrating Aly’s 25^th birthday.

I was reading the Bible today, and I get the impression that God wants to encourage and assure us that we need only to trust and follow Him. There are many things to fear, but we need not fear them. (this includes physical fears, emotional fears, fear of doing the wrong thing, or of missing the right thing, of what people think, of hurting people, etc, etc, etc…)…Deuteronomy 31:6-8 “be strong and of good courage…the Lord goes before you He will be with you…do not fear or be dismayed” …Psalm 139 “if I say ‘surely darkness shall fall on me,’ even the night shall be light around me…” even [in the depths of the sea] Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me” John 14:27 “Peace…let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”

One last thing: I am learning to pray about things I think that I already know the answers to. This is a good lesson for me to learn.
