First Step

" A man's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?" Proverbs 20:24

In Proverbs I've notived many verses like this one about how God directs your path and to seek after Him. It's something I've really been struggling with this past year as I try to find a job in journalism or just figure out where He wants me to go. A steady steam of resumes have been sent out and I've even considered physical therapy and the Navy. But which of these courses would God want me to take?
So I've been a little confused and having a hard time trying to figure this out. I think, at times, I know exactly where He wants me to go. Taking the first step in that direction is nervewracking. I have a million plus reasons why I shouldn't do it. It's not even like making the first step would too big a deal and maybe that's all God wants. I don't know why He may send me this way. Or anyway.
Like in this verse, how can I, a mere human, understand what these steps mean in the huge scheme of things. He can see ahead of me. I just need to hold His hand and follow.
It's going to be difficult and I'm going to have a huge lifestyle change. This won't be my comfortable little zone any more. But isn't that what this Christian walk is about. Following God no matter where it sends us. Taking that first little step into a much bigger world. As long as I'm holding my Daddy's hand I'll be OK.
