Plans change

My son's therapist has a sick child so she had to cancel our therapy for today. I can completely understand. Sick kids come first.

But the "schedule" says we have therapy today. The schedule says we have to get ready on time, get in the car on time, drive to the clinic on time.....Now the schedule has changed. I find myself with a chunk of time with nothing appropriated to it. And for a few minutes I actually flounder. (I'm kind of a "schedule gal"...can you tell?)

It made me think of all the times I've had plans for my life. I've made my own schedule. I've decided what choices to make. Many times, I'm ashamed to say, the decisions were made without giving much thought to what God wants for me. I went on feelings, on selfish desires, on what I thought was best.

God still deals with me on this subject. He reminds me daily that it is His plan. My job is to seek His face and love Him. And oh, how I love Him! I stand in awe of all He is.

So for scheduling, I'm learning to pray first and act second. I'm learning to listen for that still, small voice that whispers to me. I'm also asking God to sometimes YELL... I'm a bit hard of hearing !
