Webster defines plan as:
"a scheme or method of doing, proceeding, making, etc., developed in advance"
I find security in a plan. It gives me some sense of guarantee in a world that isn't guaranteed at all. It may be a false sense of security, but nonetheless, I find some peace in it.
I had a plan when my masters was going to be over. When we were going to start trying for kids. When I could get a grown-up job.
Today, when I looked at my plan for school, I realized I was quite off on the end date. Now all of the things I had planned, all of the security I had, is gone. When do we start trying for kids? Can I go to school and have kids? Should we wait until I am done, even though its far away? When in the world am I finally going to be done with homework?
I guess its a good thing He already knows.
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." Proverbs 16:9
I guess I learned a lesson about where I should place my security.
It'll all work out. It always does.
I wish I just didn't stress so much.
Does anyone else do that too? Or is it just me?
I think everyone does the stress thing Britt...because we think we have the best way of doing it. Aren't you glad that God has the BIG plan in sight and he wants US to trust in HIS timing...its all about FAITH...Faith that God is in charge and knows what is best for us!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep the faith and listen to what God is whispering into your heart! It will all come to fruition as HE has it planned!!!
