"All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." ~Psalm 139:16
Ahhh...that is what I'm feeling at this very moment. Kids are fast asleep (and have been for hours) and hubby is doing some research.
This weekend some of my family visited. We had a great time. Hockey game, Arsenal Island, Bowling, etc. One of my favorite times was simply playing games and watching a movie.
I have been shown many times how simple or complicated we can make life. Today was one of those days. I forgot to set my alarm, so missed Pre-K, missed running a few errands that I needed after the busy weekend. But, then as I started thinking how yucky my morning was, God showed me, yet again, that it wasn't important.
My morning consisted of a great family breakfast with strawberry pancakes, then we all gathered around the home school table and started at it. Elli sat there so quietly doing some mazes, coloring and flashcards while the boys started to journal. The journals both turned out to be about our phenominal weekend with our family who they adore. We learned more about telling time and did a few centers. Payton's got it! We made some Eagle wings as we learned about the great Eagle's symbol for our country. The boys couldn't believe that the Eagle's wingspan was taller than our ceilings. Love seeing their brains working and thinking!
The morning reminded me that when I "think" I know what needs to happen, God ultimately has planned what He knows we need. It was a very "simple" day and I was happy to have it.
This past year has been sort of like today... It wasn't MY "plans", but God knows what I need and what my family needs. It's funny how I look at the way I use to view the future and "plan" it, but now I look at the future and I say, "In God's timing", "If it's God's will for me". I have to remind myself daily that God is in control and:
He will Guide ME!
He will Lead ME!
He has Taken Control!
He is I AM!
He is My Present!
He is my Future!
Are we remodelling? If it's God's Will for us! When? In God's Timing!
Are we adopting?? If it's God's Will for us! When? In God's Timing!
We fully trust in God to lead us where He needs us to be. He has compelled our hearts for Him and we are so grateful for that. Regardless of what's on your heart today. It may be something that everyone knows, something that everyone "thinks" is okay, something that is unspoken... Whatever it is, rest assured that God's timing is Perfect timing! Let's turn all glory back to our Lord!
***I ask you all to think about your day...your week and see where God has changed YOUR "plans" to His plans! How did they turn out?? Did you see the better in His at the time? Do you now? What lesson was learned?
