"My Plan" vs His: A lesson learned again!

I would have never thought that life could throw so many curve balls. I mean I knew things could change, but I thought that I would be prepared for those changes. (A lesson I hoped I had learned a long time ago.) I've noticed that my life, "My Plan" hasn't really worked in the way it was planned. That is the beauty of it all really. 

Someone once told me "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." I agree to some extent with that statement. I want to revise it just a bit, "If you want to laugh look at your plans for life, then look at Gods plans for your life." 

We only see one piece of the puzzle, Sometimes we don't even see the full piece. But God is the true puzzle master.

 He see's it all. He see's our potential. I've noticed throughout my life I often get frustrated with not being ready for bigger responsibilities, or perfect at any given task. That's the natural man (or woman) inside of us. Our whole lives we have been placing ourselves and each other on either lower or higher planes. We look at, well bloggers or Instagram pro's and see their life, Their life is perfect! They are so much better, so much happier at well.. EVERYTHING. Its the society we live in. With the technology now a days we don't often see "behind closed doors." or should I say "on the other side of the screen." But God does. God see's it. He knows us. He loves us! And guess what? He has a plan, a BETTER plan.  I know, I know crazy right? But my plan is perfect! It will make me happy! It's full of good things! Yes, I'm sure it is. BUT, His plan is worth it. So worth it. 

So when you are thinking about your own plan, look closely at it. Is that really worth it? Are you going to cry, fight for, and work for that plan? Are there trials in that plan that will make you stronger? Make you a better person? Will those plans bring you closer to your loved ones? Closer to your Heavenly Father? 

Curve balls and all I wouldn't trade God's plan for my plan. I believe that God wants us to make decisions for ourselves. Like any other parent He want's us to learn and grow. He wants us to HAPPY. To have that pure Joy. And the only way we can really receive that, is through His plan. It's beautiful! 
So I can safely say, I've learned my lesson... again. 
Trust in Him!
 (I am sure there will be more opportunities to learn trust in him through out my life)
