God's Timing

If nothing else, I have learned one thing over the past two years. My plans and God's plans are usually polar opposites. LOL I'm impatient. God isn't. I want things my way. God doesn't negotiate. That said, He's showing me that His plans are better than mine. Big shock! hee hee

He's beginning to open doors that I thought were permanently closed. He's giving me hope in regard to relationships that I thought were lost to me forever. I am humbled by His faithfulness and so grateful that He loves me enough to make me do my part in owning my past and forgiving myself for what I did when I was so sick. One day at a time. That's all I have and it's all that I can focus on for now. For me, this is much larger than just the program...it's a spiritual principal that He's revealed to me in His word.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

Today finds me grateful for the following things:

The opportunity to build relationships that were once non-existent.

Finding joy in the simple things of life: watching the sunrise with clear eyes, laughing with my stepsons, laughing at myself.

A faith that grows daily as God reveals Himself to me.

And most importantly, the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

May each of you find peace and love in your life.
