Of Mice and Men

The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. -Robert Burns

We can plan all we want but no matter how much we plan something will not go according to plan. I know you all know what I'm talking about. We have all experienced a time in our lives when something just goes wrong. We plan our route for a vacation at the beach and get lost on the way, we run late, we drop things, we spill things, and we forget things. We are all imperfect, and that is totally okay. Honestly, I think that's some of the beauty that makes God so perfect. Anyway, Life just happens sometimes. You know what they say, "no use in crying over spilled milk." The best thing to do when our plans go "awry" is to keep moving forward. Spending all day obssessing over what has already been done will not only not help make things better, but in fact, may possibly make things worse. I over slept Monday missing my 9am class. Because I spent all day obssessing and frustrated over something that I couldn't change, I ended up forgetting about a meeting I was suppose to attend later that afternoon and missed my meeting; in addition to missing class.

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. -Proverbs 19:21

It's the Lord's plan's that we should be intent in pursuing, not those of our own heart anyway. Everything will be okay in the end; if it's not okay, it's not the end.

Food for thought: Our issues don't define us as persons, though they may influence us, they don't define who we are.

I pray you have a blessed day in the Lord, that you seek His heart and His will. =p
