There are moments in life when you sit down, and start to reflect on life. How it was, which direction it was going in, what direction it is going in now, and how it will be.
I did that the other day. We often have plans for our life, and really believe it is the best for us, but how do we really KNOW? When I was 17 what I thought was best for me was way different than when I was 19. And the life I thought I wanted, at 19, was way different than the life I wanted at 23. And the way my life is going now is way different than how I thought it would go just last summer.
I never thought I would be leaving the country for a year. I love the inner city/ I love the people of the city, of New York, of America.. And when I thought I was getting everything I wanted, working on a C.D, hosting a music show…God was gracious enough to not give it to me. (though my spirit kicked and screamed)
There’s a saying that I may have made up, or maybe I heard it from somewhere. But it’s been so true in my life. “Often times God is so mericiful, he seems unmericful”… Chew on that for a bit… Maybe it has been true in your life too?
Letting God sit in the driver’s seat of my life, is leading me down roads I never thought I would travel…but for some reason, they feel so natural. And I believe that’s because the Creator knows His creation..His specific design for each human that he fashioned in His image. And it’s only when we let Him take control, that we can actually be on our way to fulfilling our full (physical and spiritual) potential. How can we, creation, tell the creator how we should work? He has the blueprint. He knows our innermost workings, desires, needs, and passions…
So I’m thankful for the monkey wrench He has thrown in my “plans”…Because then I wouldn’t really be living..only existing..
Don’t be scared of God’s monkey wrenches…
Don’t exist…Live!
