Im laying here in bed...I need to be sleeping, but instead Im awake, thinking about this crazy week. Its definitely a feeling of defeat, frustration and disappointment after hardly anything has gone as I thought was planned. The selfish, immature part of me wants to lay all of my problems out before you, thinking your kindness and pity would make them go away, but it wont. You see...If MY plans had worked out, I would be asleep right now. I would not be here writing these words. Someone else had other plans...It was Gods plans for me to write these words, just like its his plan for you to be reading them right now. I am thankful that He chose me. Maybe these words can help you sort through something you are going through right now. Everyone has disappointments, yours may be different than mine, but we all have them...and they are usually crushing and painful. Theres only one place to go when feeling defeated...Gods Word! I prayed that God would give me something to help me understand why my week has been so rough. I pulled up Isaiah 55:8-9 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Now...This scripture didnt lay out directions of how to fix my problems (like I selfishly wanted), but instead He was showing me that we have to remember to believe in Gods plan. I do believe that God has got this thing in His hands, sometimes I just need a little reminder. He is looking out for me. He is working out a plan that is bigger than me, and I am going to be better for it in the end. He can part waters, heal the dead (not just the sick...THE DEAD), save, destroy, bless, and curse. He can do anything, everything, things we could never imagine. Sometimes, it takes a painful disappointment to teach us something or strengthen our faith or to put us in the right place at the right time. We don’t know His ways or His thoughts. We just have to believe in His promise. So...please know that you too are part of Gods great plan. No matter what burden comes, know that He will help you. You may not feel like you can handle it on your own, but He’ll give you what you need to get through it. All you have to do is ask. He has carried us our entire journey and for that we are thankful...I will choose to focus on the praises and not let the disappointments define me.
