“A man’s steps are of the Lord, how then can a man understand his own way?’-Proverbs 20:24
The gist of this one for me, is that you never know what the path is going to look like as you pursue your goals and dreams, but have faith, because there IS a path.

And as we continue to walk into the unknown, there will be a place for us to stand…there always has been and there always will be…
