One of the most common questions asked in life….what’s next? Even as I sit here typing right now, the question asked to me is what’s next (talking about what is on TV after watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune of course). The majority of us go through day by day with a routine that is is partly scheduled for us and the rest we are on an auto pilot. Waking up, showering, eating breakfast, going to work, coming home, making dinner, doing things around the house, going to bed….

This past weekend at church S mentioned how at youth camp they gave the kids a schedule of what they were to do and where they were to be each minute of the day. They told the kids that they should never ave to ask what’s next or what they were to be doing because they should always have their schedule with them. 

Many times in life we ask the question to ourselves what’s next? And during different situations that go on, we have to figure out where to turn next and what decisions to make. We may not have an actual “schedule” that says what’s next, but we do have the Bible that gives us instructions and direction in life and helps to guide us through each step of the day. 

My life changes so often moving every 13 weeks as part of my OT adventures. I am thankful that I have God as a constant in my life and my Bible that I can turn to especially when I am overwhelmed with the unknowingness of what is next. I am so thankful for this adventure that God has me on challenging me in many ways, helping me to increase my confidence in myself, teaching me to take time to stop and breathe and pray and take time for Him.

So in terms of where I am going next on my OT adventure? I don’t have a clue. But according to my “schedule” God knows all:

^” For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare^[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”  Jeremiah 29:11
