Sometimes life gives you flat tires and derails your plans. That’s exactly what happened to me this morning.
.
It’s easy to get angry and frustrated. And that’s a fine and normal reaction to have... for a moment. But you can’t hold onto that. It will just turn to bitterness, isolation and leave you spiraling downward.
.
Acknowledge and grieve your loss no matter how small. Recognize the loss, feel the pain then take a deep breath. Exhale the hurt, the anger, the frustration.
.
Now it’s time to look ahead and take a step forward toward a new plan.
.
I’m a notorious plan maker. And I think God often chuckles at my plans then finds ways to change them. The cool part is, I’m not married to my plans any more. I want what God wants for me more than I want my own plans. I couldn’t always say that.
.
But now I know that when God messes with my plans, but I trust Him anyway, He makes my story even more beautiful than I could have imagined. He forces me out of my comfort zone, growing and preparing me.
.
I’m so thankful that He loved and accepted me the way I was, but didn’t leave me that way.
.
Can I get an ‘Amen’?!
.
