I wrote a poem for where I'm at currently in this season of trusting God for the future and not having definite plans yet. He's speaking steadfastness over me. Here you go:

I am uncertain and tempted to doubt

But you steady me amidst the storms throughout 

 

You’re teaching me patience, faith, and hope

As I trust that your plans for me are dope

 

My flesh wants to take control and rush ahead 

But I’m surrendering to you and patiently waiting instead 

 

Your timing is perfect, of this I’m sure 

I remember all the times you’ve been faithful before 

 

I go ahead and thank you for what’s to come 

As I know it will be good and a whole lotta fun

 

I know who I am and whose I am and that’s all I need 

With you, Lord, my future is very bright indeed 

 

So I claim peace, joy, and trust in the waiting 

I’m expectant and filled up with anticipating 

 

You are a good father and you’re using this season 

To teach and refine me; there’s always a reason 

 

The desires and dreams of my heart are from you 

So help me to steward them well and to you be true 

 

May I bring heaven to earth in all that I do 

So that the sick are healed and the broken made new 

 

I hereby dedicate my life to living for the King

I live my life as a living sacrifice: my offering 

 

To herald the Kingdom and invite everyone in

To a family where they can experience the Father’s love: a reckoning 

 

All I need to know is Christ and Him crucified 

Whatever I need, I know He will supply

 

I’m grateful for my Savior and how He’s set me free 

I am called and equipped and live in a posture of victory 

 

It’s a privilege to serve Him and though the cost is very high

It’s more than worth it as He promises abundant life

 

I am an overflowing river and I never will run dry 

He fulfills me and renews me and on eagles’ wings I fly

 

So, I may not know my next destination, job, or length of stay 

But I know who holds the future and I will not be swayed 

 

I’m confident and more fully me than I’ve ever been before 

I trust the Lord and His plans for me in this life of more
