"for i know the plans i have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." [jeremiah 29:11]
about 2 weeks ago, i made a pretty big decision that was easily one of the hardest decisions i've had to make, especially since it effected another person. i have gone through every emotion possible from sadness and anger to relief and excitement. i would be lying if i said i haven't had doubts over whether or not i did the right thing. yet through all of the tears and questions, i have had an overwhelming sense of knowing that this is all under control, even if i'm not the one controlling it.
i have talked to God more than ever before and have been comforted time and time again because i know that this has all been planned. i know that God knew i was coming to this realization that something just wasn't right, even if i had been trying to stuff it down and ignore the nagging feelings. and God also knows what the ultimate outcome of this decision is going to be.
i know that God only works things together for my good. i know that he never would have allowed me to make the decision i did if it wasn't going to be beneficial. he has my future in mind at all times and he knows exactly what i need to do to follow the path i was meant to follow. God's plans will always be better than my plans, no matter what my flesh likes to think.
