Not According To Plan

Today I had my schedule planned out, I knew what I needed to do and what had to get done. This morning I went about by business and the day started out well. I made it to my interview on time, dressed for success, and prepared. It went really well and I left excited about my interning possibilities. Then I came home and got to the next order of business, find the bank, cash check, drop off envelope, get book from library, get food, go home, eat, do homework, pack. Well, needless to say, things didn't quite go as I planned. I got to the bank, had to pay a fee, they wouldn't let me do a money order because I didn't have an account with them so I left. Then I finally got myself some food and went off to the library only to get there and find out that it was closed. Oh yeah, its Easter Break. Things that don't cross a commuters mind, campus closes down on Easter Break. Shoot! Thus, the book I needed for my homework due tomorrow will remain inside the dark locked doors all weekend while I eagerly search the online catalogs for a substitute reading. Thankful for the Internet, I headed over to the social work building only to go inside and realize once again that it is Easter Break and everyone left. I found myself driving around to cross errands off my list only to end up back at home with little accomplished. On my way home I couldn't help but laugh and smile. Thinking of how silly it was that I forgot about Easter Break. I was also glad because I knew that even though I didn't get everything finished, I knew that they would all work out. Though it was a little frustrating because I planned on getting these things done the day before, but I was too sick to leave the house.

All of this to say that when God has a plan, he WILL make it happen. You see, I am under the impression that I was sick yesterday because God knew that the only way I would rest was if I had no choice in the matter. So yes, I did get to rest. I'm not quite sure what was going on with all of my unmet plans today, but I know that God's plan WILL be met.

Be encouraged, God's plan WILL prevail.

Proverbs 19:20-22 (NIV)
Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar.

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have one of our August sponsors Madison of The Wetherills Say I Do . She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...

Being Content

Content, As christian women we here that word more times than we can count, especially in a season of waiting. Content is defined as,   pleased and satisfied : not needing more.  Have you been in a season in your life where your feel like you are just waiting? Waiting for a new job, waiting for things to get better, waiting for marriage, etc. Whatever you are waiting for, sometimes it just seems like it's taking forever just like a long line at the grocery store.  When I think about being content, my thoughts instantly go to being content in my singleness. How many times have we heard the cliche lines like "just wait, God's got it" said by well meaning people, only to make you feel worse. There was a time in my life where it was so hard to hear all of those lines without just wanting to cry, because like I said it made me feel worse rather than better.  That is when I would get discontent in waiting,  sometimes I feel like i am in this never...
