Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
As someone who is without a plan right now, this verse makes me smile. I typically have everything planned out completely, not leaving a detail out, but at this time I am completely without. Prior to this point in life, I did have a particular plan that I was attempting to accomplish, but I believe the Lord has a very different plan ahead. I'd like to think I am always aware of where God is moving in my life and how He is leading me, but sometimes I am blindsided. I find myself standing there just shaking my head in a "what in the world just happened" kind of a way. How does this happen? I spend time in prayer. I ask advice of the wise. I seek God in most circumstances. And yet, I find myself dumbfounded by His moves at times. These times are when I just have to smile. I recognize that God is at work and accomplishing big things in spite of me. It's easier if I just let Him do His thing, but I find it so hard to relinquish that control. He just takes control at times and gets me back on track, which I'm grateful for the fact that He loves me enough to do that. He doesn't get mad, He just prevails.
Yep - He's so faithful and magical in the mist of a broken world. The race is on - you will make it to the end by putting your complete trust in him. We might have to take risks - leaving our most loved people/things/memories behind for a time to enter into the honoring journey that He wants us to be on. We just never know what that may be - but what we do know is that HE is with us every second of it and if we just lean on Him fully He will take our souls places they've never been before. Praying for you Abbie.... have been for a awhile. You are such a bubble - don't let the devil pop your love you have for the life Christ is intending for you. HUGS!!!!! Matthew 6:25 - 6:34
