Preparation is essential for me.
At least I have believed it to be for a while now.
I have always thought it would set me up for the best possible outcome...
I don't want to get too excited for something that may happen if there is still a chance it may not...that would just be setting myself up for disappointment right?
Maybe not.
Jake an I have just recently started memorizing scripture. I have note cards with scripture written on them that I randomly pick from each week. This week our verse was Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
It has been a good reminder this week.
Although I may not know what is right around the corner or down the road of my life, Jesus does.
Preparation is great at times, but sometimes I think I use it for safety instead of just trusting that no matter the outcome, Jesus has a plan. That plan will shape and mold me into the woman he wants me to be...there will be no need for a plan B

Maybe his plans are not exactly what I have dreamed.
Maybe they are.
Regardless, I need to trust.
When I am anxious or uncertain, I need to look to him and remember that the creator of the universe holds my future.
His plans are bigger and better than anything you or I can ever dream up.
Some days i just struggle with keeping that in mind.
