A friend wrote this to me last week when I was feeling discouraged:
I am really getting the feeling that God has in mind to take us to places we may not have thought of or considered.
Well, think of it, all our plans can only involve what we know. We make plans that center around what we are comfortable with - but God's plans hardly ever seem to go that way! I mean, think of all the stories in the bible - all those people - Joseph, Moses, Paul - got led into places and circumstances they would have NEVER in a million years come up with on their own!
But God, working through circumstances, took them each on quite a journey!
And they trusted, not that God would make things go THEIR way, the way they might have had in mind, but simply that God was with them, wherever they may have been led - and that God was accomplishing HIS plans through them.
