As I posted earlier in the week, I am really anticipating DearFriend Y's visit. So much so that I was anxious about it and was cleaning like crazy! Well, after some responses to my anxiety, I realized how silly it was to make our family look "perfect", and was able to seek God to calm my anxious heart. As a result, I was able to prioritize what to clean and prepare here at home and got all that I needed to done yesterday.
I was excited because everything was falling into place and all I needed to do today was surface clean the bathroom, set up our bed in the unfinished baby room, and do grocery shopping. These are all last minute tasks that should be done right before DearFriend Y arrives. So, now I have a free day and I don't have a "back up" plan. What should I do today?
Just another example of plans not working out...
I wonder what BIG change God has in store for us...I feel like He's been teaching me about being flexible with change and accepting when plans don't work out in little increments, as if He's preparing us for some sort of BIG change and some sort of BIG disappointment (in our view) where our plans don't work out and He's wanting me to learn through these little situations that though our plans fail, His plans are still good, eternal, and perfect!
