No such thing as figured out

It seems like every time I have a plan, I am settled on a decision, something else comes along and causes me to rethink my decision. I had honestly thought I was ok with not meeting a guy in college and had settled into the idea of moving back to Texas to pursue medical school and possibly, hopefully love. I also knew that it was possible that God's plan for me did not include marriage, an idea that I was not fond of but also needed to keep in mind. And here I am, a few months later and looking at the same future with a changed perspective. Arkansas has become my home over the past two months more than I could have ever anticipated. In fact, it's a bit unsettling how Plano has become the place I grew up rather than truly home. And I met someone. Great. Scary. Exciting. A whole new demension to my life and thoughts. We are simply friends, so I am extremely unsure how much to let this new development influence my perspective. It is frustrating and confusing, but I keep coming back to one passage: Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. God is never not in control. He works all things for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. In Isaiah (41:10), he says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” I have and still am learning to trust in the Lord and not in myself, to rest in all aspects of his character, to live dependent only on Him because apart from him I can do nothing. It's a good thing the Holy Spirit in me is greater than things in this world.
