Plan G

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 NIV

Remember when we played the game "MASH" as kids or when we began to frivolously draft out our life plans before our eighteenth birthday? Our plans looked something like this.....College at 18, married by 21, stable career by 22, and kids by 23. Well, my life plans were something along those lines. But, did that happen..? Yes and no; allow me to explain. Yes, I went to college but not as I expected. My college experience was unique and rewarding to my benefit. I graduated at 23 with two degrees under my belt. And what about marriage and kids... well, not yet but I'm praying every day for my readiness and maturity for that. 

I'm sure you're reading this and thinking geez, her life didn't go as planned and you're right. It wasn't my plan, it was God's plan and purpose for my life. For example, I didn't exactly go to a four-year university at 18 but Community College near home. Why, because God needed me to be home with my family during our time in grief after the loss of a loved one. And God hasn't shown me my husband or allowed me to become pregnant because he needed to take time to work on me. I am forever grateful for how my life turned out and I rejoice at what is to come! 

I'm not saying that there is nothing wrong with having a Plan A or Plan B. But become weary when things don't go your way, but instead God's way or what I like to call it (Plan G). 

If you planned career goals or relationship goals be mindful that you are a vessel in God's kingdom and he will make a way to fulfill his purpose in you. He will bless you tenfold over and give you more than what you thought you had planned for your life. 

So if you find yourself frustrated or anxious about the small or large changes in your "plans" remember God will bless you with something bigger and better.  

Brethren, ask God that he take full control of your life and have peace with what he is doing. Stand firm in your Faith and trust in him that he will fail you. God has smiled on you for having goals and desires but you will rejoice when you receive your Plan G blessings and miracles.

Move In Silence

M-I-S, so that you won't "miss" your opportunity! When working on things and creating ideas, we are often excited to share the great news from the mountain tops. Granted, there is nothing wrong with being proud of your works nor is there wrong with wanting to share them with your circle. But we have to be mindful of the idea that not everyone is celebrating with you. Have you ever had a brilliant idea or exciting new thing happen in your life and you immediately shared it via social media or by word-of-mouth? Remember, how you had one or more persons who said some hurtful things or how when these got hard, you felt too embarrassed to mention it out of fear of more judgment? We have all experienced this at some point in our lives and it sucks. You should be able to share the news about a new relationship, job opportunity, baby, business idea, etc. But face it, we all have enemies plotting against us in jealousy.  How do you avoid missing your unique and wonder...

Wear Your Shoes, Walk Your Own Journey

1 Corinthians 3:7-9 NIV " So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building. "   You have your own purpose in Christ, never try to wear the shoes or walk the journey of someone else.  Remember that infamous children story of Goldielocks and the 3 bears? For there was a house with three bowls of porridge, three chairs, and three beds. Divided into three portions; the papa bear, mama bear and baby bear portions. Goldie, tried out the papa and mama bears porridge, chairs and bed only to find out that it was never meant for her but only the baby bear's things were a perfect fit for her.  The whole premise of the story is to teach children to never take or settle for something that is not for you (granted ne...
