“Lavi di ou, ‘Ann ale’, men ou pa konnen ki kote l’ap mennen ou.”
Translation: “Life says, ‘let’s go’, but you don’t know where it’s taking you.”
I love this proverb because the truth is no matter how much worry and stress and planning and preparing we put into our future, we still don’t know what’s in store. But the good news is that our lives are held in God’s hands, and we get to walk out the journey He has planned for us. We can trust Him that even though we don’t know where life is taking us, He does, and He is good.
