Does my entire house payment plus past due get paid through the trustee or can I just pay the past due to the trustee and make my regular payment direct to my lender?

Does my entire house payment plus past due get paid through the trustee or can I just pay the past due to the trustee and make my regular payment direct to my lender?

I filed a Chapter 13 and in the plan just put the past due to the mortgage as my payment to the lender. Was I suppose to include my regular payment too? Can I amend the if I was suppose to include the whole payment? Do affirmation agreements get paid through the trustee too? Or can I pay those direct?
