The Plan We Don't See

(just noticed I wrote the same thing like one week ago but the thing is I have no recollection of writing that so here's this. whatever!)

There are few things better than an unexpected wonderful moment, even one that lasts for four hours long. You expect good things from spending a weekend with your friends, a church retreat or even summer camp but those times when you never saw it coming? Nothing like it. Not only is your day or week brightened by such a great surprise but it really... humbles you. You realize that there is more to your life than what you have planned. Here's the thing, when people say stuff like that, it's normally bad stuff that's not planned, but no one really considers the good stuff. This is why at times we see God as the one who balances out our life by adding bad while we plan the good, but that is so messed up. It is not a huge fault of ours; what else are we going to do? Sit around and wait for good stuff to happen when we could just plan it? But we've warped that into thinking, subconsciously, that we know what will be good always and we know what will be the best outcome. False. That is why, when good things happen completely randomly, it humbles me. It gives me peace, the fact that things are happening in my life that are so beyond me and my current self. More than that, that same peace makes it less scary to enter the world of the unknown in the form of college, the summer@Brown program, yearbook next year and so much more.

"The mind of a man plan his way, but the Lord directs his steps."

-Proverbs 16:9

cool verse huh?
