Navigation Problems

As I get older and as I am now better in control of my attention deficit disorder, I have become much better at navigation. It was such a problem at one point that when I first had a driver's license, my parents would send my younger sister with me to navigate. Then, when I got a car, I also got a GPS. I firmly believe the key to navigation is paying attention; a skill I haven't perfected. 
The first day I was back in Metter, I was at my church. While my dad was installing the new speakers in the sound system, I decided to say hello to my pastor. He and I have always had a good relationship and he is always very welcoming to whatever questions I might have. If you know me, then you know that I tend to have a lot of questions. We got to talking about how I would be graduating early from undergrad and about the different possibilities beyond that. I told him I honestly didn't know. I knew that I was supposed to be where I was right now, but I didn't know my next step. We talked about how we never knew God's full will and that was okay. But then he explained to me one of the most striking examples that I will remember for a very long time. 
He said "You know what Jessica? God is not a MapQuest. He is more like a GPS. Because you can see the full outline and map of your trip on a MapQuest, but on a GPS it just tells you the next step. And when we get to that next step we take it. Then it might say go straight for a while. It might say turn this way shortly after. Either way we don't know the next step until God wants to reveal it to us." 
I sat back and marveled at the wisdom there. It made so much sense. It was so true. I could relate very well. Sometimes, it kills me, not so much as it used to do, but I want that whole plan like MapQuest. However, like we often just have to trust our GPS, that this series of steps will lead us to the right place without showing us the full map (though it is capable), we have to trust that God is picking the right series of steps without showing us his full plan (though He is capable.
