Gods Plans>>>Mine

I have come to realize that Gods plan for our life is so much better then the plan that we have set before us. If you read my first post you know a little bit of my story, and how God took my plans, changed it, and has given me this experience that I would have never believed! But tonight I want to break it down a little deeper and explain that although I am beyond excited about this experience, at the same time... this is the HARDEST thing i have ever had to do!

Tonight I left my best friends house(after having a complete boohoo session) , completely broken before the lord.. asking him why he had brought me to such a hard spot in my life. The answer, because then I wouldn't have been able to give you the amazing blessing you have now. I began to think about what I wanted, and the plans that I had for myself. I wanted to be a student at East Texas Baptist, coming home only once a month because my parents were making me. Out experiencing the world that exist out side of cedar creek lake. Making new friends, meeting guys and being a normal 19 year old girl. Yes when my plans first started changing, I was very bitter. Angry that I wasn't getting what I wanted with my life! But tonight I can honestly say I am beyond thankful that my God is bigger then my plans, and thankful for where he has brought me. 

If I was on my own path, I wouldn't be working at Whatz-Up Family Fun Park, or be taking care of two of the most amazing teenagers in the world everyday after school!. I would have never meet, my Kensi, my Tk, my Twins, my Kailey, my Tim or any of the most amazing new co-workers. I wouldn't be this close to the old staff like Misty, Jordan and Crystal or even Mr. Dan and Dorothy. I wouldn't have the connection I have with my boys that I do! Clayton would just be one of the other workers at Whatz-up. Actually he would be known as the one who took my place. Hahaha But God, God knew what he was doing. He knew that I would need a group of friends to make me laugh every moment of my day, and a supportive best friend who is there for me in every moment of my life. I wouldn't have any of the major blessings I have today! 

They are what makes this trip so hard! Packing up and leaving behind a loving family, a great work staff, and an incredible best friend.... Its going to be hard. But I know God has a plan, and all I can do is trust that! 

Jeremiah 29:11

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ 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.

P.S. I love you guys so much! and I miss all of you already!
