September 24

Well, I thought that I would try and hatch my own plan. You know, we all try to handle things on our own and try to carve out the lifestyle we want to live. I thought that if we sold our home, we could downsize, get rid of all the extra stuff and simplify our lives. Well, that's not what happened. We're now in a slightly bigger home, a much bigger yard, and more room to entertain! You've got to love it though, especially when you see God's plan falling into place. I've seen my family more during this process and have had wonderful gatherings of the saints here in the new home. God showed me who was in control and even though I had a plan, it didn't quite match God's. When you're committed to following God's call on your life, you have to be ready for things to change. It may be different than what I had thought, but what I got is very good! God's plan is always so much better! 

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
