Yeah I figure there ins’t much I can do to alter the Lord’s plan, nor do I think I am sufficiently blessed to have any special insight. Just be prepared and take what comes.

You’re walking by faith and not by sight just like you’re supposed to. You’re lamp is full of oil and He won’t shut the doors on you.

Matthew 25:1-13

1”At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6”At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

7”Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

9” ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

10”But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

11”Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’

12”But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’

13”Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
