Feel you made a mistake? Turn back time?

Daily Bread - 3 April...

I read this in the daily bread a few months back and i dog ear it...
I was really touch by it... indeed, we all have different lives and we do things all very differently, and many times, we may feel that we have made a mistake in our lives, and wish that we could turn back time. But with God, there are no mistakes... only lessons to learn...

I learn this lesson a very hard way when i was in Philippines... cause we had all the prog plan... and i really wanted everything to flow as plan. I'm not flexible and felt everything must go by (in a way) my way. Boy was i slapped in the face by God hard and it was really a lesson learn... Only God can say where, when and what... We're his servants, his disciples, and most of all, his children. He only has the best for us and sometimes, when things don't go the way we plan it to, it's not that it's a bad plan or that it was horrible, it's just that maybe God has a better way of doing things. And i really learn that sometimes, when i learn to shut up, and just listen and watch God work, how surprised i am, by the things God can do. I've seen my brothers step up and take steps to lead, i've seen my friends grown more and miracles happen... Praise and Thank God for them... :)

But don't just listen to me brag about it, read this article for yourself... :)

A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. —Proverbs 16:9

They were in the right place, on the wrong day. Or so it would seem.

The Dayspring Chorale, a traveling high school singing group, arrived at a nursing home for a Thursday concert. However, the folks at the home were expecting them on Friday. But they said if the group could get set up fast, they could sing for 20 minutes. Then they'd have to stop for a memorial service for one of the residents.

The chorale hurriedly got ready and sang, and as they did, the son of the man who had died heard them. When they were done, he asked if they could sing at his dad's service. They gladly agreed and ministered hope and truth to all who attended. God used these young people in a special way—all because of a secretarial error. But was it a mistake?

We carefully make schedules so we can be where we think we should be. But we always need to keep in mind the words of Solomon, "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps" (Prov. 16:9).

Do we seek ministry in life's unplanned schedule changes? Do we turn detours into guided tours of what He wants to do through us? If we're doing God's will, we'll be in the right place. Then, wherever we are, we can point people to Him. — Dave Branon

Sometimes our plan does not unfold
The way we thought it would;
But God is always in control
To use it for our good. —Sper

Unexpected changes are opportunities in disguise.

Unqte...

Continue to live life with great expectation of What God can do in them. When you let go, that's when he chooses to lead you... :)
