We all wonder at one point or another – are we wandering aimlessly, or is there an actual plan for our lives? Is it explicit, or more of a generality?
Jennifer discusses reasons she believe there IS a plan for each of our lives, but why perhaps a “gameplan” is a better choice of metaphor than a “blueprint”. *
“If we believe that there is only one right choice for every decision we could ever make, we find ourselves paralyzed with indecision.” Ben Hodges
So how can we get “unstuck”?
– Be a reflection of Christ, or of who we want to become, in each decision we make
– Have guardrails in place so as not to get too far off track
– Look at each decision through the lens of our purpose, through scripture, through wise counsel of friends, etc
