It has come to my attention that my plans don’t always work out. My plan was to write as many days of the 31 as possible before the challenge even began. Yet here I sit typing out today’s prompt at 6:00 p.m. My plan was to start writing a blog and it be the next big thing. I have 24 subscribers. My plan was to be speaking to women around the world to encourage them and show them the healing that God offers. I have spoken to one group of women. An incredible, amazing group of women – but nonetheless only one.
God’s plans don’t look like I thought they would. Some days that is hard. Really hard. Some days I look at where I am and I get angry. Some days I am sad. Thankfully, some days I can see that where I am is good. On the days when it is hard I have to remember that God has been gracious to me. He has not allowed me to plan every aspect of my life because I would undoubtedly mess it up. I have a couple of prime examples to remind me that when I jump into my plans without thought and without prayer the results are devastating.
I don’t know what God’s next plan is for me. I still believe that He wants me to write and speak but that will come in His time and in His way. My job is to continue to seek His will and then follow it. Then, His plan will unfold at just the right time.
