Walking Without a Map: Trusting God in the Unclear Seasons

I am right in the middle of my “I don’t get it, but I’ll keep walking” season. 

Honestly? I feel like God is calling me into something that doesn’t quite add up on paper right now. A few months ago, I felt an undeniable prompting, one of those quiet but firm nudges, to go back to school. And I wrestled with it. Hard. Because I already have a business. A successful one. One I’ve poured my heart, time, and tears into. So, why would God ask me to shift gears or add more to my plate when things are already going well?

It doesn’t make sense-yet. But I’m learning that God often calls us into obedience before He offers understanding. That’s how He’s drawing me closer lately… not with clarity, but with invitation. An invitation to trust Him even when the why is still blurry.

Sometimes I catch myself asking, “Am I crazy for doing this?” But then I remember the times He’s shown up in the details before. How He’s always had a purpose tucked inside the waiting, the wondering, and even the wandering. So even though I don’t know what this new season is for, I’m showing up. I’m enrolling. I’m learning. And in doing that, I’m letting Him write the next chapter…even if I’d really prefer a spoiler alert.

I think the deeper relationship with Him, for me, looks like less striving and more surrender. Less demanding answers and more choosing to believe He sees a future I can’t yet imagine. He’s not asking me to do more, He’s asking me to trust more. And honestly, that’s way harder. But it’s also holier.

Sometimes God leads us not to a destination, but to a deeper dependence. And maybe that’s the point.
