know that things unfold according to their own nature. We can remember to let our lives unfold in the same way. We don't have to let our anxieties and our desire for certain results dominate the quality of the moment, even when things are painful. When we have to push, we push. When we have to pull, we pull. But we know when not to push too, and when not to pull.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety or by the handle of faith.

If you experiment, you have to fail. By definition, experimenting means going to territory where you've never been, where failure is very possible. How can you know you're going to succeed? Having the courage to face the unknown is so important.

What if you quit making excuses, quit playing it safe, and quit hedging your bets?

Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure.

It is hard to say what the future holds, but this is probable - it won't be just like the past.

Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

There is no guarantee that starting a small conversation will lead to something larger. But the failure to take any step at all, no matter how small, comes with an ironclad guarantee that we will not be part of helping change happen.

You and I simply never know for sure what is coming next. Think about it: your life has not worked according to your plan. You could not have written yourself into your present situation twenty years ago. Last week didn't work according to your plan. Today won't work according to your plan. Your life is under the wise and sovereign plan of another (see Acts 17:26—27; Dan. 4:34b—35).

Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks, and do what you really want to do.
