His Grace is enough (for today)

I like to plan. In fact, the dream for the move I am making next week, started almost 5 years ago. Since then my roommate, Rachel, and myself started slowly talking about it more seriously. Then this past spring we started to look at apartments. Even the staff showing us the different apartments were a little confused why we would be looking at apartments months in advance. The answer is simple, I plan.

I realize I do this as safety. If I know what is coming, I know how to be prepared and I won't be caught of guard or so I think.

Rachel and I, have come to admit that we have no idea what will happen in the months to come. We can plan financially if things stay the same but there is no guarantee that our jobs will stay the same. We can plan to try and work through disagreement diplomatically but we don't know what the disagreement will be about.

Have you ever imagined the future? Have you ever been able to see God's grace in it? Have you ever been able to see the way He was involved in the imagined future? It is hard to do isn't it? The Lord has never taught me things on my time frame and NEVER in the way I thought He would. No matter how I plan for the lessons that will be learned they never are the lessons He wants to teach me. He also give me strength, courage or whatever is needed at times I don't expect it.

I am slowly embracing God's grace for the day and not trying to get enough for tomorrow and the next day as well. Here is to the unkown!
