I hope life is giving you everything you dreamed of.

Someone told me that last night....
And it made me think.


Life is nothing like what I dreamed it would be. Even a year ago, I was dreaming of something else. Something else completely.... Plans have changed.
Life is not what I dreamt of, but I am ok with that.

My flesh dreams about life. And of course, it is good... but it is my idea of good. My plans. God has other plans, and He makes that clear... but He also makes it clear that His plans are also good (Jeremiah 29:11). So I am living out that promise. And there is nothing better for me than the plans that God has for me... And so what do I have to be disappointed in?? Yes, there are times that I miss what I had planned. I wonder where my life would be had my plans become reality. But there is a reality that I am now in that I would not want to miss by keeping my thoughts occupied on what is not there.

So no, life isn't giving me what I dreamed of. God is giving me more.
