Unfulfilled Plans

1 The plans of the heart belong to man,
but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the spirit.
3 Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.

Proverbs 16 made itself known to me this past week.
I had planned many things, and most of those did not happen.
Looking back now, I realize this was God's way of taking care of me.
If things had worked out how I wanted, I can see now,
it would've taken a BIG toll on me.
Even when things don't happen how I plan,
I know the Lord has my good in mind.
I can only be thankful!

Beautiful Reminder




It only lasted but a brief moment.
As soon as I opened the front door I saw the bright sky glow yellow as it weirdly showered rain upon the ground. I ran into my car to head to a friend's house and turned up my windshield wipers to the max. It was pouring on a sunny day. As I took a left turn I saw the side of a giant glowing rainbow straight ahead. Cool! Of course, rain, sun, you get a rainbow. But when I took another turn and luckily was stopped by a red light, straight ahead of me was a full and glorious rainbow glowing in the sky. It was complete and literally so bright and colorful I started to laugh/cry in awe. Driving further on and still towards the awesome sight above me, I noticed another one on top of it: double rainbow! By this time I reached my destination and I saw a father and son out of their house staring up at the sky together and taking pictures. I parked and ran out, turned around and gazed upward. Clouds were slowly concealing the magnificent rainbow from the right edge upward. By the time my friend had come out to see it, most of it had been covered by the fluffy grey clouds.
It lasted but a brief moment. And it was glorious. This awesome and intense moment will always bring a smile and warmness in my heart. Our God is an awesome God.
