Plans

We all know the bible verse Jeremiah 29:11, "'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.'" Have you ever really read it though? Like, look at it closer. Does it say "'For Johnny knows the plan Johnny has for you,' declares Johnny." Uh.... no.

I think people, especially a worry wort like me, tend to lean on their own understanding about.. well.. everything. For instance, I've been FUH-REAKING OUT about college. I can't make a decision to save my life (refer to yesterday's post). But I guess what I've been concluding is that it isn't my decision to make in the first place!

Every day we wake up and we're faced with decisions. Like, what to eat for breakfast... and what college we're going to. God allows us to make the decisions on our own if we want to take the harder route, but let's be for real, no one wants that. This is something I've struggled with so much lately. I know how I want things to be now. But my timing surely isn't God's timing. I know how I want things to be, who I want to be included in my life, but God puts people and things in your life for seasons. It doesn't mean that they are supposed to be there forever, just to teach the lesson and then move on. Everything, seasonal or not, is all apart of God's plans. That's a hard lesson to learn, but trust me when I say it's a lesson worth learning.

To sum it up, just take my word for it: Let your plans become GOD'S plans. God wants so much for you, but you have to take a step back and allow God to do His thaaang. I promise you it'll be worth it in the long run.
