The plans...

Today I read a blog of one of my friends from high school. Heather was a good friend of mine when I was a freshman in high school and she was a senior. Her post today was about their search for a new home, and it reminded me about God's plan for our lives. Our plans most likely don't always match up with God's plans. Let's just say, my plan doesn't really mirror my reality these days. I didn't think that at 26 years old a coffee date with a friend would make me have to go lie down and take some meds. However, as I was rolled into my second MRI machine of the year this morning, I could feel God's presence calming me and letting me know that though my plans don't match up with His right now, he is holding me through this trial. I don't know why God has this plan for me right now, but I do know that I am learning the meaning of great line of the old hymn, "Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul."

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." - Jeremiah 29:11-13
