For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Jeremiah 29.11
What a fine finish to an awesome week.Wow!Gorgeous end of summer type of night—and I just want to update my blog with a couple of highlights and things to look forward.
Interesting day today—supposedly a house viewing today—Marcie and I worked all morning to get the house looking great—I headed out to get my haircut—found out my girl was running behind—so I went and got 2 skyline dogs—came back and still waited for the haircut.Same time that was going on our dishwasher was supposed to get fixed after the showing—but know one showed and as I was driving up to the house the guy to fix the dishwasher was pulling up and Marcie was coming out of the neighbors house declaring a no show.Should the repair guy come in?Will the people finally show up?What gives?
All that to say—hmmmmmm what can one count on?Make a plan—look out.A schedule to keep—and if it gets jacked up, then what?Ahhhhh that is the reality of this life.Try your best to plan it all, with some room for the mess ups.Because you can never tell or know what really is going to happen—and today—one of those days for sure.
But—all that to say—there are some things that with some planning, prayer, seeking and trusting—God just blazes the trail ahead.I have been seeing that for the past month—un real the trail God is laying down… and to think—I get to be part of what He is doing—that is a thrill for sure.
Now, Saturday, tomorrow I leave for my 50th birthday bash that Marcie threw for me.Yes my birthday already happened—But Marcie got a time share condo in Pompano BeachFlorida for me to take some ole buddies.So—we catch a plane out and land in Florida to have a few dayz of guy time—fishing, hangin at the pool, the beach and eating like horses—it will be a blast.
Then when I get back—bam I have a wedding to do on Saturday the 12th with rehearsal on the 11th.Then on the 12th that Saturday night I speak at the Saturday night deal—my first speaking deal at the Fairhaven—I will be putting my finishing touches on the message while in Florida—Then Sunday preaching both services and then Bam—the first uprising in the worship center at 6:30
Oh man—lots of plans to consider—lots can go wrong… Right?Just like today.No—I believe that His plans are in place and we faithfully move through this life—and if some things thwart the plans—oh well—God will come through… I know… He has and He will.
Looking forward to preaching for sure—a little nervous—going with what is on my heart—which Dave Smith asked me to share—“Share your heart.”So I will.
Looking forward—
Blessings—I still don’t know who reads this blog—but it is fun—kind of journaling kind of thinking out loud.
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
