WOW... today was CRAZY! This morning, I was supposed to run an errand to drop a few things off somewhere. I was almost to where I needed to be when I realized I forgot what I was supposed to take. So I turned around, went back home, grabbed the bag I had packed and headed back out. I get all the way back over to my destination and I realized that none of what I needed was in the bag I packed! I couldn't believe that I had forgotten the same things TWICE!!! Needless to say I was pretty frustrated with myself, not to mention exhausted from going back and forth. I relayed the whole event to my mother who replied, "Maybe there was somewhere that you just weren't supposed to be for whatever reason." I love a mother's wisdom, particularly my mother.
There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
~Proverbs 19:21 (KJV)
Just because we make plans doesn't mean that they're going to work out precisely every time. Case in point: my day today. I planned on dropping a few things off somewhere in the morning and then running some other optional errands (i.e., shopping) with my mother. Obviously that didn't happen or I wouldn't be writing about this particular topic at present--I would be waiting for a time when my plans hadn't worked out for whatever reason. Yes, I'll admit, I was pretty upset at the time (and the few hours that followed), but it's okay. God knows everything that I don't, so He undoubtedly saw something that I couldn't. So what if I didn't get to do a few trivial things? It's not like I was donating a kidney... and even if I had been, God knows best. For that reason, I trust in the Lord completely. Whatever He has planned for me is what I'll do.
Lord, thank You for this day. I know I didn't react the best (and I ask that You please forgive me for that), but I can see now that it was for the best. Please watch over my parents, grandparents, family, friends, and pets; please keep them safe, strong, happy, and healthy. Continue to bless them as you always have. Please bless them with their hearts' desires. Lord, please watch over those who defend Your name, this country, and/or those who cannot defend themselves. Please bless them with courage and bring them home safely. Please forgive me of my sins, and continue to walk with me down Your path. Lord, I love You with all of my heart and soul and I wouldn't give up that love for ANYTHING! I shall follow You and only You, Lord, forever and ever. I love you, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Love and God Bless,
M.C.
