sometimes we make plans...and God laughs

I LOVE this quote...it has to be so true and it makes me chuckle thinking of God's thoughts on some of our plans. I heard it on 7th Heaven, Annie says it in reference to them taking in a few street kids, after almost being empty nesters. it really makes me think and makes me grateful that God is in complete control. God has awesome things in sotre for us far beyond our imagination...and He won't let us settle. I look back at things that had been planned in my life...at 1 point yes i was engaged...ring and all...even i look back on that and laugh, i planned on going to cedar point with nels after boot camp..God must have been rolling on the floor with that 1 b/c not even 2 months later nate books a trip to DISNEY for us...and God must have been laughing his head off while i was with nels...now i think he smiles b/c He brought nate into my life and he is just beyond wonderful in so many ways. i got involoved in youth group in high school but not wanting much to do with it and God sent me to Honduras...i planned to just skate through those years but God challenged me and blessed me with many opportunities. ive tried holding onto things i KNOW i have NO control over and in these situations i think God just quietly laughs...not in a mean way but in a fatherly way...and He is always there when we fall...He always will meet us where we are, if you think about it that is one of the few places He can meet us...if you are on one path you aren't going to find God on another one...if you are headed in 1 direction you won't find God behind you but waiting for you...He meets us where we are, everyone of us. Something I am learning everyday is that it is not easy letting God guide your life it is challenging. and just when things start to coast..God sends a little wake up call...He nudges us. so anyways just think if you have something plans...and it doesn't work out...its OK God is going to bring something much bigger and better along...He will pour His blessings out upon you :-)
