The blatantly obvious truth of that statement is easy to dismiss when you are just saying it,...or reading it. Of course that's true! But sometimes when you are living it, the truth in that statement isn't as obvious. I had a plan, and as I am always learning, God doesn't feel confined by my plan for my life. I think sometimes He humors me by letting me think I know what is going on, but in reality I don't.
Anyway, I have realized that I thought I wanted one thing...a job in a design studio then maybe one day I would have my own design business. I thought that was what I was waiting for, a job to open up. But turns out, God has had me where He wanted me all along...and now I am starting to see that it is a much better place for me than the one I thought I wanted.
I've been so blessed. I fell into doing freelance,...not really thinking much of it. And suddenly, I'm busy with work. It seems the moment I finish a project and start thinking "ok, well,...what now?" something else comes along. I realize this could sound like I am "tooting my own horn" but I am not...I am just so thankful.
"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
Even when I am unaware of it, God is always looking out for me. He leads me to where I need to be. When I am earnestly following Him, He guilds my path even when it doesn't seem to make sense.
"I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears."
Psalms 34:1-4
Often these days, our lifestyle is on a day-to-day basis, which if you know me, you know I like to have plans. But, I have been learning, in real-life experience, to trust the Lord...and He has never failed me.
