God's Plan for YOU

There have been a lot of times in my life, and even on this blog, where I have wondered at where my life was taking me. When I look back, I see a windy path of indecision, wrong turns, and a road that I never had planned to walk. In front of me, there is a future that I never could have imagined.

Often I have found myself praying for a specific thing, and it hardly ever works out the way I want it to. The saying, "We plan, God laughs" is not just a silly reminder of the lack of control in my life, but has also been a constant reminder to me, that although my plans aren't working out, someone is there who has another plan for me - a better plan for me.

I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father, who knows me. He knows my strengths, my weaknesses, and what is best for me and my life. I have always loved the scripture Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.....", because of the simple truth it teaches us. God knows us. He loves us. He cares what happens in our lives. He has cared from the very beginning - a beginning we don't even remember. I have learned that, although I am attached to my own plans for myself and they are hard to let go, God's plans for me are always what is best, and what end up working out anyway.

I am grateful to be where I am today, in this moment. I am happier here than I have ever been, and much happier than I would have been in "my own plan".

Let God plan your life, and just go with it. His idea for you is so much better than your own. Our God is an awesome God, he's got your back!
