For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
-Isaiah 55:8-12
Some days texts are just brought to you - literally dropped right into your hands -- just when you need them. Lots of big changes ahead with the impending move, along with trying times of patience in my professional world that directly affect the move we are about to make. But I want answers now! I want things to work out the way I want them to! But then I'm reminded just when I need it that it's not my ways.....it's not my plans....it's never been my ways nor my plans. And every time I think way back of where I thought MY plans would have led me, I would have missed out on the blessing of my beautiful family and the beautiful path my profession has taken me down. I don't know why He's asking me - us - to wait, but He is....so, I will wait...wait on His will and trust that He will accomplish what HE desires and achieve the purpose HE sent. I will claim that promise! Lead me in peace...and remind me that your ways are waaaay higher than my ways. I mean seriously, what do I know? So I will trust...wait, and trust in His plans for my life and the life of our little family.
