May God be the only one who knows
An excerpt from an article I wrote this morning:
"It's amazing that God wants to use us, isn't it? As I take a moment to look back, I can't help but thank him. ... Go ahead, dive into that God-filled mix. Start the rest of your life. Whatever it is, pray a lot, and then go for it. And--one last fun challenge--may you have no idea where you'll be in five years. May it be unpredictable. May God be the only one who knows."
