Plan A to Plan B to Plan C........

4/1/10......and so on. How right Sarah Young's Jesus Calling entry was this morning when it said that we need to let go of our "to-do" list and to let go of the fantasy of an uncluttered life. "Clutter," in this context, defined by me, as anything getting in the way of my "to do" list----those unexpected happenings that alter our plans. Our plans for the Easter weekend are to spend time in Hoptown with Daddy. The exact amount of time may be altered by 2 recent phones calls.
A 5:30 am phone call alerted us that a high school chum of Larry's died in his sleep. He and Larry were just working on a class of '65 dinner together last month. Now, funeral plans pending.
After lunch Molly called with news that her hubby, Corey's grandmother just died. Plans incomplete at this time.
So our plans are also pending---do we take two cars, do we leave a day early?
Life is indeed full of twists and turns and unexpected happenings. We're all just one breath or phone call away. We are blessed to know the One who is the same yesterday, today and forever and though we may make our plans He is the One who directs our steps. He knows the plan for our lives. He gives us a future and a hope. Praise to the Resurrected One!
