So, I caught a glimpse of these two little birds just in time this morning. I was in the middle of an internal whiney fit because I’m not getting to do what I want today. It’s a gorgeous morning here in Orlando. I had big plans to putter in my garden, finally get my Christmas tree up, and try to get some shopping done. Nothing big – no real commitments – but this is just what I wanted to do with my precious day off.

Apparently God has other plans. Again.

I struggle with really hating when that happens, but He is so patient with me. He loves me through these moments and sends little messages of comfort from his heart to mine. Sometimes it’s from scripture, other times it comes through music, or it may come from things people say to me. But he always, always meets me in that ugly, self-centered place, and He gently reminds me that His plans are greater than mine.
