The Unexpected...

Recently, I was given some news that was difficult and unexpected. I had been planning for months for this specific thing and had worked very hard in completing my assignments for it to work out (I have to choose my words carefully regarding this so I apologize if some details seem vague) and we had worked our schedule out around this and I was planning and set for things to go as planned. Out of the blue things changed. What I had been planning and preparing for all these months was not going to happen. I was upset, confused and quite puzzled. While I was given reasons for why this happened, it still doesn't lessen the unexpected-ness and the stress that comes with now having to re-adjust many, many things. But, let me tell you, I have seen God already at work in this situation. He has given me a peace that it was not in His will for me to go ahead with the plans that were already set in motion even though they sure did open a lot of doors for us. He is supplying our needs and I am anxious to see what He has in store next. I know, in a few weeks I can follow up this post with more of what God is doing with this "Unexpected" situation. But, maybe, just maybe, the unexpected was His will all along....

"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 a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

  1. "HIs ways are not our ways." It's always amazing, much later, when we realize what all God really had in mind for us in the long run of things. :o)
