"To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue." Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) I had it all planned out. I would take the beginning of the week and get ahead on articles and assignments, leaving me the rest of the week (and part of the month) to work on a big project left unfinished on my laptop. But as I opened my laptop to begin to work, I quickly found it was not working correctly. I spent the rest of that week not working on the articles and getting ahead as planned, but instead, I went to the store, ordered new equipment, and restarted the computer. If you've ever had computer problems like mine, you know what a hassle it is. It can take up to a week to order one, get everything transferred onto the new computer, and wipe the other computer clean. These were far from the plans I had for myself that week. Additionally, some health challenges early this summer forced me to cancel a much-needed vacation. This summer has been far from what I planned. This left me mad at God, and one day, I sorted out my feelings with him. Couldn't I have a vacation where I could get some much-needed rest? Isn't that what God wants for us? |
