But still I find it difficult to reason that what I am going through is part in some ultimate plan. Whether for my good in nudging me in the right direction or as part of someone elses lesson. God sees past, present and future - whereas I can only see what I can see with my limited vision. He sees all the intricate details. More than a microscope looking at a piece of tapestry, our lives are all woven with such care and love into such a breathtaking pattern. And yet sometimes only God can see that pattern.
I have a better idea lately since my job involves planning so far ahead for our conferences. We have venues already set for 2009 and I have already invited people to an event in October of 2008. Personally I'm lucky if I know what I will be doing that afternoon. And yet beyond all that, beyond me, beyond this realm, God knows. God knows where I will be, what I will be doing, how I will be emotionally, physically, etc... as well as be with me throughout it all. Wow! To be loved that much is overwhelming, comforting and a little frightening.
It makes me smile to think that while I am going along my regular business, God may be saying "She needs a little nudge, let's put this in her path." or "Ease up a little, she's getting the message." or even "Smack her upside the head, she's being stubborn again." Of course, it all may not be for me, it may be for someone else to learn through or next to me. Again only God knows. But still it is overwhelming, intimidating and AWESOME to know that I am so very loved. I'm in God's daytimer. He has made space for me, time for me, even though he has other things going on. Not in pencil either, but in permanent ink.
So, whatever I am going through he knows and it's going all according to plan. ALL according to plan. Sigh... I so have to remember that.
