so what happened to Go? What do we do now?
we're on our mark, we're set...but where do we go?
does God's plan for your life ever seem like it couldnt be more clouded...couldnt be less clear? I have felt like that for the last 5 years. I get frusterated cause i want o know what God's plan for me is, what i am supossed to be doing. I get so upset about it that i would start feeling like i must be doing something totally wrong to make God not want to tell me what i am supossed to be doing. Or God must be confused and he's trying to figure it out and that's why it's taking so long...
But what if I'm the one who's had it backwards?? what if i've been complicating everything? what if I've been complicating everything by making it too simple? make any sense?
see...what I'm learning now is that life is so much broader than i ever expected it to be. Life is not Black and White and God is not so simple that he has everything just perfectly planned out for me.
God is adventerous, colorfull and daring. And i seem to be the one who's scared to move. the one making everything more complicated by making it so simple, so orcastrated...life is so much more than that. God s so much bigger than my box.
what i am trying to say here i guess is that...well. There is more to God and his plan for us than we give him credit for. I dont know about you, but when i make one mistake, i tend to think i am messed up for good and that i am doomed to get just good instead of great because i messed up. Or lately i feel like i have to see things one way or the other cause there couldnt possibly be another easier way...it couldnt possibly just be that I messed and it's over with and i'm forgiven and God wants to help me deal with it...
i think i tend to forget who God really is, or worse, i think i know who he is, when really i have no clue cause he's so amazing that I will never really know him the way I should. I forget that the whole plan wa for a relationship. The Bible was created to help us know God better and to have a relationship with him...it's not meant to be a 5 step self-help book!!!

God's plan for your life is quite simple, actually. He wants you to trust Him with your whole life: present and future. You don't have to know all the details. You just have to trust Him that it will all be good.
"God causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose."
Enjoy!
