Every feel like God has something better for your life than what you had planned? For so long I thought I always knew what I was going to do in life...go to Harding University, be a teacher, study abroad in Italy, live anywhere but Texas and eventually have a family. But lately God has opened my eyes to things I never imagined and I suddenly feel at a complete loss.I realize now that I've been going by MY plans for my life, not the blueprints that God wrote and possess for me.


Its such a struggle for many people, including me to give God the steering wheel and sit in the passenger seat. Instead of praying what God's plan for my life is, I pray for my plan and what I want to happen. Not anymore though, my prayer is that God will show me in due time every detail He has written for my life. (and I cant wait to find out each one!) I realize I may not like some of His plans but that He will (and never has) given me more than I can handle.


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


-Jeremiah 29:11
