Back to Plan A

So, I haven't been online in ages, My computer crashed at an inopportune time (spelled B-R-O-K-E). No computer, no job, and no car left lots of time for "soul searching".

I have spent much of my time asking God the age old question "What am I suppose to be doing with my life?" I got an answer, but it was in the faint distance. I couldn't quite make out the words. So each day, I asked again begging, "Lord show me some sort of sign, please!" I read,I prayed, I consoled. I think I have done more research in a month than most people do in a lifetime. Everyday I could hear God's message, but couldn't make out the words. Then one day He screamed it at me....

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU COULD BE DOING. FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED FIRST. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO WITH LIFE; YOU JUST HAVEN'T EXECUTED THE MISSION!"

OH SMOKES!! Did God just tell me I was a failure? This merciful God that created us out of love? Where's his compassion now? All of these thoughts raced through my mind that morning. All day I was bitter about his accusations. Yet, in my head, I knew he spoke the truth.

The next day I sat down and had a heart-to-heart; not with God, but with myself. God has been very patient with me and VERY forgiving. (I am the rebellious wild child) I have long known that God put me on this Earth to help teens have a positive outlook on life. When in college I developed an organization that would implement that purpose and possibly turn thousand of lives around. However, life occurred and I hit a rock in my path. Yet, in lieu of trusting God to move that rock out of my way...I went to Plan B. And that's where everything started progressing down hill.

See, God developed us for a purpose. Once that purpose is accomplished we are disposed of and replaced by a newer model. Harsh, but reality. (AKA, when one person dies, another is born.) That purpose he developed us for never changes. God doesn't have a Plan B,C, or in my case Z. What he has is a bunch of humans diverting from Plan A.

I have realized what I need to be doing. I am now gearing up to make those positive changes and get back on Plan A- God's Path!

Reflect on your life, what diversions have you made? What mission has God sent you to accomplish? Revisit it and figure out a way to "get-r-done".

There will be more on this topic in the near future. I have derived a daily devotional geared toward getting myself back on course with God. Join in and I am sure you will be joyful in your success!
