The other day I had lunch with a friend who shared that she is being drawn to something different. The next thing. She has an idea of what that thing might look like, but can’t be completely sure because many of the pieces are in other people’s hands. I said to her something like,

“God is moving you from A to B. You just don’t know where B is. There is an undercurrent of movement.”

Even as I said those words to her, they penetrated my heart. I’ve been feeling my own undercurrent of movement in recent weeks.

Initially I focused on “B.” The next thing and the steps to get me there. Actually “focus” might be a strong word. “Considered” is probably more accurate. That was short lived because when you don’t know where you’re going, it’s impossible to know how to get there.

I think I need to say that again.

“When you don’t know where you’re going, it’s impossible to know how to get there.”

This runs completely counter to our culture and the need to have a well defined plan. And maybe sometimes it runs counter to God’s leading. Remember Abraham? He didn’t know where he was going when he left Ur. He simply listened to God for each step of the journey. And he was found faithful.

When I left the Chamber three years ago to start my own business, I left out of a sense of calling. From A to an unknown B. An undercurrent of movement. I didn’t exactly know where I was going, and I certainly didn’t know how to get there. I took one step at a time, and allowed God to lead me along the way, opening some doors and closing others. God poured out His blessings in ways I couldn’t imagine.

Now there’s another shift. I wish I could tell you more, but I don’t have anything else to go by at the moment. And there are at least two areas of my life where this might apply. I’m listening to God for the next step. From A to an unknown B. An undercurrent of movement.

What about you?
What do you do when you sense an undercurrent of movement? How have you handled times of moving from A to an unknown B? Are you feeling an undercurrent of movement in your life at the moment?
