Recently in my life a plan that I have had for the past six months didn't pan out. It's one of those things that you don't think would ever go wrong, and you never think that it'll happen to you. These little detours in life can be incredibly frustrating, however, they are what make life interesting and in the end spit us out exactly where we are supposed to be.
It never fails that at a pivotal moment in life, something fails or changes. It doesn't matter how well thought out the plan is, or how many resources you think you have to make it all go right. The plan could still fail, and your route might have to change.
Having your plans derail is a seemingly unfortunate fact of life. However, that isn't always so. Last summer, I went through one of the worst breakups I had ever been through. I'm talking name calling, door slamming, screaming, money owed, and never ending trauma that came with a failed relationship. I was sure that this was the person I was going to marry.
I'm a fairly religious person, and I trust in the powers above fully. I'll never forget being told after this breakup, that God will wreck your plans if he sees that they are about to wreck you. Well, God wrecked my plans. He recked them worse than I could have imagined. I was mad, I was angry, and I felt betrayed. I felt like I had been betrayed on so many levels when that relationship ended. But no, no I wasn't. I wasn't betrayed, in fact, that was my God letting me know that my plans were being wrecked because there was something far greater on the horizon; the people I would meet, the woman I would become, and the man that I would find.
My plans will derail in the future, and so will yours. Just keep in mind that when nothing is going right, there is always the option to go left and find something far greater than what you would have found in your first destination.
