So Much Sacred in the Month of June

I suppose, as Aley quoted, "Perfect plans cannot be made." My plans are shot. Not really sure where to go from here. I went from having it all figured out, to having it all to figure out. I thought my plan was God's plan, but perhaps i was mistaken. Or perhaps it was God's, being relegated to the past-tense, but i did not handle it properly. Like Loren Cunningham and his boat. Maybe the plan went before the planner. Maybe i turned my back on the architect and ventured outside the balustrade.

And so the possibilities open wide. But i do not feel like weighing all the possibilities. I feel like turning back to the engineer who has the plan. I have neglected him too long now. He knows what i should do next. He knows.

this is like exactly what i was trying to say on the phone. & you said it better, haha.

i also had everything figured out. but that didn't happen.
i too have had my own plans void of His guidance that is oh so helpful. OH SO.
so i wait. though always pressing on. i wait in anticipation. though contently.

i feel free.

it's funny because in ZEO we are going through the book of Joel. It's been pretty interesting and intense.

The book is a lot about God wrecking everyones lives even what they thought were His "plans." It's funny because Israel's life was centered around so much "worship" and offerings and whatnot yet they failed to see that it was all for God. I think that's a lot like us.

I hope during this time of seeking and waiting you - along with all of us - will begin to see the plans He has for you and how He will use that to glorify Himself.

ps. your first paragraphed reminded me of this so here i go...
(pretend i am singing)

And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dreamt I was an architect
And I built this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go

And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
All right, okay, guess it's better to turn this way

hey kev! I've been meaning to read/comment on your blog for awhile now too...thanks for reading all of mine! you rock!

to answer one of your questions, I'm feeling a lot better...the first two weeks were rough but it started wearing off around the third week and I'm back into my routine and am thankful...

i know exactly how you feel about finding God's plan for your life...I think I've often been looking for God in my plans which is why more often than not, things don't work out...I think going back to the architect is a wonderful idea, let me know what you discover

God bless you bro, love you man!

this seems relevant to all of us. i know i feel you. and thats such a good thing to consider and pick at: are my God plans really Gods plans? Seek!
