In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
Proverbs 16:9
My life never really turned out the way I planned it. It turned out better. For example, I didn’t love and marry the girl I thought I would when I was younger. When I was a teenager, I thought I wanted a passive, submissive, and slightly less intelligent woman as a wife; but instead I ended up marrying a strong-willed, assertive, and smarter woman than myself. I also didn’t end up with the kids I thought I would have; they’re way funnier, sweeter, and more interesting than I could have ever imagined. And I ended up in the career of ministry that I’ve been running away from for many years... TWICE. I’m guessing 2019 will be more or less the same I’ve experienced for most of my life up until this point. I hope your 2019 will be similar.
