Driving the point home

Looks like a certain heavenly someone likes to drive a point home.....I was looking at my precious bible promises and there it was...


"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." -Proverbs 16:9


So despite the fact that I try to make my own plans, it doesn't matter because He will still shove me in the direction He wants me to follow. I finished reading "Reckless Faith" today and it blew me away. This book was like reading my inner thoughts, having my own plans instead of listening to what God is telling my heart. But in one of the chapters, Beth talks about learning how to stop following our own plans that are self-glorifying and to follow the plan God has created for us, to serve others. It really hit home. I didn't start freaking out about not getting a large part until I started listening to what others though I should do verses listening to the plan that I had already intended to follow, God's plan. He has a reason why I can't financially be in the fall opera...I'm paying off debt from being unemployed this summer for 2 months, volunteering for BBBS, getting in a women's bible study, and starting to teach voice lessons. I'm so excited for the possibilities!!! And at this point I can accept that I might not receive a role this year, but that's okay. He has a plan for me....and although I can't see the entire project, I know that I just have to trust Him...It's called faith, and something that I should have a bit more of. It's time that I stopped being self centered and learn how to serve others. God is good. I like to brag about Him now, I think He's pretty spiffy!


as Beth & Gabby would say....Daddy has a plan !
