Come away with me, come away.
It's never too late, it's never too late,
it's not too late for you.
I have a plan for you,
It's going to be wild,
it's going to be great,
it's going to be full of Me.
From the first time I heard this song, I knew I loved it. I love knowing that it is never too late for God's plan for me. As people like to remind me I am no longer 18. Some people like to say I am way behind everyone else my age. I have not graduated college, I am not even in college currently. Not because I am lazy, but because I have not figured out what I want to do. I do not want to spend time and money on something I do not even want to do. I do not have a husband, fiancee, boyfriend, or even potiental male friend. Sad but true. I had a woman tell me last month that I must an embarassment to my mother because I do not have a family of my own. Man, talk about hitting you where it hurts. Embarassment??? I promptly called my mother who informed me she is not embrassed but so proud of me for following God's plan when it is the hardest. It is hard! All of my friends have started their careers and most are engaged (or heading that way) then here I am. That is when I ask God, why not me? Why can I not have a comfortable life with a career, a husband and 3.5 kids? Then he reminds me that when I accepted his calling in 2007, I gave up my comfortable life. I gave it up for his wild and crazy plans. When God gives you his heart for people, you are different. I can not tell you how many times I have heard peoples stories and just wept with them. I am not normal anymore. I asked God to see people through his eyes and that is a dangerous prayer to pray. When you begin to see people the way he does, you see more than the surface. You see the hurts and pain they deal with. You hurt with them, you fight with them, you rejoice with them! It is a great feeling to have but it can also be so hard!
I love the lines that talk about God's plans being wild. I love being adventurous!! When I was little my younger brother and I used to always act like we were explorers. Our back yard would become a African safari, or a jungle with bad guys in it! So the fact that God's plan for is WILD is just pretty sweet! Also his plan is for me. No matter how flawed and jacked up I am his plan is for me. I love knowing God has something for me. Just for me. I feel epowered and the need to protect that. Like a precious jewel, God's plan is worth everything time. I love knowing he made it for me. God is just so good even when I least deserve it. This song is just another reminder of that for me. 🙂
