Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21
We are definitely in a state of transition in my home. With the excitement of summer break approaching, the joy of launching into homeschooling next fall, and the few days that I have left to work this school year, I just feel like none of it can come fast enough.
But God continues to remind me that I need to stop looking so far ahead. There is treasure in TODAY. I may be feeling frustrated with the behaviors of students at school, or I may be anxious about Evie's finals, or I may be wishing that we already had her grades wrapped up and I could file our Notice of Intent to Homeschool paperwork...but God nudged me today in my quiet time with Him and reminded me that I have a bunch of plans in my heart...but He has plans of His own and His plan comes first.
I cannot miss what He is doing TODAY just because I'm so excited about what our plans are for the next few months.
I must not run ahead of Him or else I am choosing to run away from Him, because He stands here...right here, TODAY.
Many are MY plans, Lord...but Your purpose prevails. Amen.
