I make my plans, but the Lord orders my steps.
I accepted the position in Nigeria on Friday afternoon with a salary counter-offer, and now I wait to see if this negotiation has been approved. The decision is out of my hands.
Truthfully, the decision was never mine, because the Lord orders my steps.
I was created for the purpose of His glory, and whether I do that from Nigeria or Chicago or Minneapolis, I seek only to be obedient. And EVEN IF the answer comes back "no," the Lord will reorder my steps as I continue in obedience. (see Daniel 3:16-18 for my favorite "even if" scenario).
My prayer is that the decision that comes back to me will bring definitive confirmation, one way or the other.
