Not My Plan, But Yours

You know that moment when your world just got flipped on its axis? You thought things would go one way but all of a sudden they take an opposite turn. You prepare to take a left turn and start to lean to the right to go with the flow, then BAM the driver takes a right and throws you off your balance! What just happened? You're too busy processing why things felt weird to look around and see what is happening around you. Okay so maybe that's not the exact same thing I'm feeling at the moment, but you get the idea. Things are just not turning out the way I had planned for them to unfold. But, I guess that's for the best.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, 
   but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21


That verse speaks to my heart right now because it is only in God that I have a firm place to stand. I know people may mean well, but God will never disappoint. I will wait. I will wait on the Lord and wait on His purpose. Although I don't understand what is going on and why He is making certain things happen the way they are, I will pursue His love and trust. Trust that He knows me. Trust that He loves me. Trust that the Lord has my best purpose in mind, and that what He has planned is better than anything I could have ever imagined for myself. I can't wait to see what He has in store for me. Literally.

Look at the nations and watch— 
   and be utterly amazed. 
For I am going to do something in your days 
   that you would not believe, 
   even if you were told.

Habakkuk 1:5
