{plans}

I'll be 25 in exactly a week. Weird.

Remember when we all had "our plans"? You know the things in life that we had mapped out for ourselves, exactly how WE were going to have them. Or better yet, the game "MASH". Everytime we played this game it "automatically predicted our future". It told us who we would marry, what kind of car we would drive, where we would live, how many kids we would have, what our profession would be .... we thought we had it all figured out!

I'll be married by _____ and have kids by ____.

So "my plans" ...
For sure .. I thought by now I'd be raising a Little Campbell. Maybe a little boy, who wants nothing more than to go roll around the grass with Cheyenne (our precious pup). Maybe a little girl, who wants to bake cupcakes and bring them to her daddy at work.
jeremiah 29-11
But God says "not yet"...
Sometimes it's hard to let go of our own plans. There are times we think we have it all figured out and under control. Then when life seems to turn a different way, we become uncertain. Right now I'm in a period of uncertainty. I know that one day I will enjoy those precious moments with Little Campbell. But right now it's hard to see the end.

It's okay ...
Even though I'm unsure at times of what God really has lined out for my life, I am clinging to the fact that he really does have big things planned for us.



Today's uncertainty feels like I'm walking blindly.
Good thing is, I know the one ordering my steps.
