This new millennium has birthed a fast paced, give me now generation that is centered on instant gratification. With the internet, cell phones, skype and email you don’t have to wait on anything. You can even have dinner ready in the time it takes to drive around a building. There is nothing wrong with technology and the steps that it has taken but God has not changed and you still have to wait on him. God has devised a plan for each and every one of us and most times OUR time is not GOD’s time. In just speaking to people it seems as if a lot of individuals have a list of things they want from God. This list doesn’t include the Holy Ghost, an unwavering spirit or the desire to witness but a husband that can sing, or is physically attractive. I recently spoke to someone about them being single and they said yes God knows my heart so he knows that my husband needs to be this and that. NO! God knows your heart so he knows that you want to be happy ultimately. Whether that’s single or with a spouse that doesn’t have everything on your list, you just want to be happy. You could get a person who has everything you desired on your list and they treat you terribly; which is usually the case. Trust in God’s plan. Have you ever met someone who prayed for a new job and once they get it they still weren’t happy so they pray for another new job. Oh I do. .. The moment I threw my hands up and said “Lord your will be done in my life” and was serious about that thing, my life has changed completely. Things are falling into place perfectly and it’s going in a direction that I had never imagined. I was always going to the nursing path. I said I was going to be a doctor and my family attached themselves to that dream and that’s where I was headed. After really spending time with Renee and getting to know who I am without anyone else I realized I love to write. I want my voice to be heard farther than I can scream. The moment I made that change in my mindset; I was offered a position writing for a magazine, I was offered a writing position at my church and my and began blogging. When it’s God’s plan the pieces fall perfectly. I didn’t seek any of these positions they were given to me. I love the statement we say at my church “God will use someone somewhere to use their power and influence to better your life”. Whenever I think of believing in God’s plan no matter what I am taken back to Abraham. This man loved his son, he prayed for Isaac, he was promised Isaac; yet when God asked for Isaac back he was willing to do so. Some people debate that Abraham knew that God would deliver Isaac and maybe in the back of his mind her really really hoped he would. I can imagine him being obedient yet praying for a miracle. Abraham lifted the knife to slay his son, which shows me that he was in it all the way. God after seeing his dedication allowed him to sacrifice the ram that was caught in the bush. God’s way is perfect and even if you go through detours that you wouldn’t have chosen, believe in your destiny and remain faithful and you will be blessed.
