“Planning is not deciding in advance every step we are going to take and then doggedly following those steps. Rather, planning is an arrow which points a direction of the future. You lay out the steps, take one step, and then re-plan. Planning thus becomes a road map toward the future. But unlike most road maps it’s one which we can constantly improve as we move further and further toward the future.
So what is planning?
- Planning is being tomorrow-minded
- Planning is pre-determining a course of action
- Planning is trying to understand God’s will and responding to that understanding by our actions.”
