When the time is almost right, God says SLOW! and when the proverbial Green Light appears God says GO! With this in mind, I have adhered to a vision developed at age 10 for my life. I pray for patience and for those things I cannot handle, I just "leave it at the cross" and do my best not to go back and pick it up again. That is the hard part. But I am most aware that I am a catalyst and a conduit for Good, as we ALL are. Kinda like the last Michael Landon series "Highway to Heaven". GReat post Nic!!! And I'd encourage you to take your ex's actions and cnsign them to the trashbin of history. God has an amazing plan for you yet and you are young!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227061.post-1161711271669608322006-10-24T12:34:00.000-05:002006-10-24T12:34:00.000-05:00How would life be if it were all planned from begi...How would life be if it were all planned from beginning to end?

You've come thru some really tough places and are pushing forward with God - that's awesome! <BR/><BR/>I don't really agree with this, though: "as God laughs at the folly of our human nature." I truly believe with all of me that God did not laugh at you. I believe His heart broke for you as He loved you and created ways to draw you back to Him where He could tenderly love and care for you in deep and intimate ways. You are so beautiful and precious to Him!Amehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358641966141610513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227061.post-1161665591638780372006-10-23T23:53:00.000-05:002006-10-23T23:53:00.000-05:00Many times God disrupts our "plans" so that we do ...Many times God disrupts our "plans" so that we do not boast that WE did it, that it is by OUR smarts or OUR skills that WE accomplished these things in life. Rather God disrupts OUR plans so that we can see in the end that it was HE who brought us through the storms in life so that we can boast properly that it was GOD who did the wonderful things in our life.<BR/><BR/>That one really spoke to me Nic. How funny that we begin our entries with the same experience. How a broken heart can really draw us closely to the Father.
