As I woke up today...

Some things are beyond planning. And life doesn't always turn out as planned. You don't plan for a broken heart. You don't plan for a failed marriage. You don't plan for an adulterous husband. You don't plan for an autistic child. You don't plan for spinsterhood. You don't plan for a lump in your under arm.


You plan to be young forever. You plan to climb the corporate ladder. You plan to be rich and powerful. You plan to be acclaimed and successful. You plan to conquer the universe. You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.


You don't plan to be sad. You don't plan to be hurt. You don't plan to be broken. You don't plan to be betrayed. You don't plan to be alone in this world. You plan to be happy. You don't plan to be shattered.


Sometimes if you work hard enough, you can get what you want. But most times, what you want and what you get are two different things. We, mortals, plan. But so does God in the heavens. Sometimes, it is difficult to understand God's plans- especially when His plans are not in consonance with ours. Often, when God sends us crisis, we turn to Him in anger. True, we cannot choose the cross that God wishes us to carry but we can carry that cross with courage, knowing that God will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope with. Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul. Sometimes, He break our heart to make us whole. Sometimes, God sends us pain so we can be stronger. Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble. Sometimes Godsends us illness so we can take better care of our selves. Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us.


Make plans but understand that we live by God's grace. Growing up we get dismayed by there allocation that we could not get everything we want. Growing old, we should be delighted by the realization that although we can't have everything we want, we can want everything we have. "God will either give you what you want or far better than what you wished.


Keep on praying ... But be thankful that His answers are always wiser than your prayers."
