We Plan, He Plans

For years I have had a specific plan for my life, and I am sure there are other people who can say the same thing for theirs.

I planned to finish college and land a job that involves me doing something that I enjoy doing that generates a lot of income.

In better terms I had plans to become successful through a stress free journey.

By understanding the concept “we plan and God laughs” I’ve drawn up the conclusion that I was cheating myself when I wanted life to be a simple task.

Throughout my journey of finding success, God has strategically placed roadblocks in my path.

These roadblocks have slowed me down on my mission, but they have also made me a wiser and a stronger individual.

A dream or goal that’s not worth fighting for shouldn’t be a dream at all.

If something that a person wants badly is at easy access, then that person should wonder if that something that he or she wanted was meant for him or her.

As I was growing up, my parents taught me a valuable lesson — everything that I wanted to own I had to work for it; nothing in life should just be given to me.

In some way I believe that God tries to teach us all a similar lesson.

We can’t make specific plans for life and get angry when they are altered a little bit by God’s vision for each of us.

There maybe someone out there who is meant to become a successful lawyer, someone that God gives the blessing of a child to.

God isn’t telling you to stop your mission. He is just telling you that you now have to work harder.

There may be a struggling artist or actor out there that hasn’t had luck with finding jobs.

This doesn’t mean you aren’t meant to be an entertainer; God maybe telling you that you are looking in the wrong places.

We can’t give up when are agenda are changed because it is God’s way of telling us that he has something better in store for us.

One for the week: A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs 19:11
