Ever wonder why something so sensible...doesn't make sense? Without divulging too much information, two particular incidents occurred this past month where I was sure it made the most sense to have it exactly the way I would have hoped. I was also pretty sure that it was part of God's plan. I mean why else would he allow me to experience what I did, all to say, "not now"? When it was pretty evident, in my opinion, that it was now more than ever. It made more sense than anything has ever made sense in my life, but it didn't come to fruition. You know, like traffic lights. They have a natural progression. It's green, turns yellow, and then red. It's never green, yellow, then green. That doesn't make sense. But I know God doesn't work like that. Often, I forget His plans are so great that even the thought of them are so much higher than I could ever imagine. Suffice it to say, I'm really learning what it means to take hold of what I know I'm supposed to do, and the other things will take care of themselves. So, I can't say why things don't work out they way I want them to other than the fact that maybe what I need to be concerned with is not what the future will be like, but what I'll be like in the future. And the only way to be sure I'll be the way God wants me to be is to be that way now.

Why Things Don't Work Out
