What can I say friends. Sometimes life doesn't go how you think it will go. It's very humbling actually. You think you have a plan and have things figured out but then reality strikes and you realize you counted your chickens before they hatched. Nothing too tragic, just not what you expected.
Can you relate my friends?
In times like this, I must remind myself who is really in control and that His plan is far better than mine. Even in my disappointment, I can celebrate a Savior who will never disappoint me and the reality of His sovereignty, grace, and goodness give me perspective. Things don't always go the way we plan but when life takes a turn in a direction we didn't expect, our choice to surrender to His will and not try to force ourselves down a path not intended for us, shows who we truly trust and rely on.
God is good and even when things don't work out how we expect, He provides other opportunities and adventures far more fulfilling and specially designed just for us. Relinquish control. Trust Him when things don't as planned, and celebrate through the uncertainties in life. God provides for us far better than we could ever provide for ourselves and that is a fact. Allow Him to take you someplace you were not expecting. Trust and truly be at peace because He's got this my friends. He can handle it, don't you worry about that.
Lord, we praise you when life does not make sense and things we thought were not as they appear. We understand you know us better than we know ourselves and like a loving Father, you take care of your children. Thank you for closed doors and when life does not go as we intended because it reminds us of our dependence upon you. Take us where you want us to go. Lead the way. We are ready to follow.
