THE PLANNER…

I am a planner. I have my calendar with my appointments or plans written down on the correct date with the time and place. I check my calendar pretty much every day at least once. I suppose it gives me a sense of security to make sure I am where I am supposed to be, when I am supposed to be there.

Unfortunately for me, the sense of security that I feel is really a false sense. I am not in charge of where I am supposed to be when I think I am supposed to be there. I learned this lesson today.

I had planned to be somewhere today and it was really important to me that I be there. Obviously, God had other plans for me because I had an unfortunate case of food poisoning and ended up in the ER. I still thought I could get in and get the meds and get out in time to make my plans… yep… that didn’t happen… I don’t know why but for some reason I wasn’t supposed to go. Maybe I needed the medicine more or maybe I needed the rest, but my plans were changed.

When I think about my plans and God’s plans I realize that I am always trying to control my life when really God is in control. I don’t know when or if I will ever learn that I am the created and He is the Creator. His plans are always best!!

Thank you Father God for having patience with me. I love You! Thank you also for caring for me enough to make plans for me. I want to give You all the glory for my life!! I am humbled that You created me and shower me with blessings on a daily basis!! Please be with my friends and family. Give them Your strength and Your peace through the hard times that they are going through and the difficult times ahead. Please put Your hedge of protection around each and every one of them. Let them feel Your Loving Arms around them and let The love that You have for them sink into them. Thank you for all that You do for us, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
