Lately I’ve been realizing that sometimes the things we want don’t always come in the exact packaging we had imaged. This seems to be a recurring theme in my life right now. From the simplest things like ordering something from ebay and receiving it only to find it doesn’t fit the description you had thought you ordered at all. But in other things like the way you imagine your future. I think I have these ideas in my head about what my life will be like or how the person I marry will be. As I go through life if something doesn’t fit the way I thought it would look or be, I disregard it and think “oh this isn’t for me”. Lately I’ve been challenged with the thought that maybe God is providing and opening these doors, they just don’t fit the exact mold or vision I had in my mind. Who am I to say that they are wrong just because they don’t meet “my standards” for myself. I wonder if that is what God is trying to show me. That he is meeting my needs and providing things and people in my life the way that I need them, but the way that HE sees them.
God’s plans, not my own.
