Then and now...

I used to think that my life would go a certain, specific direction.
I used to think that my plans for life were feasible and reasonable.
I used to think that my goals would unfold in perfect timing.
I used to think that I knew exactly what, when and how I would reach those goals.
I used to think that if I simply believed, God would make a way for my goals to happen.
I used to think that my plan was the same as His plan.

Then life happened. 
Life happened very differently than I anticipated.
Life happened in ways I didn't plan.
Life didn't happen the way I planned.
Life unfolded as I never imagined.
Life brought great joys and grueling disappointments.

I don't know how life will unfold.  But He does.
I don't know if my plans are His plans.  But He does.
I don't know if my goals will be met.  But His goals are greater.
I don't  know what, when, where or how His plans will unfold.  But He is able.
I don't know about previous goals anymore.  But I believe Him.
I don't know His specific plans for me.  But I will trust and follow Him.♥~thl

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.'"  Jeremiah 29:  11>13
