What's in your will?

And sometimes God's Plans are not your plans!

Why? Easy, unless we are walking in His Will, our plans will NEVER be His plans. 

And how do I know this do you ask?  I have been trapped in Shreveport, Louisiana under work related circumstances. 

Please don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Shreveport, in fact everyone is very nice and personable here, they go out of their way to say "Hi" to you.  And I am even included in everything they do!  I must be because they are always saying Y'All.

Anyway, with everything that has been happening with my walk with God, I figured I would head out to Shreveport, be there for two days and WHAM! problem solved!

Well, I am writing this post from Shreveport...and having a very candid conversation with God on why I am still here.  We have had a great run back at home, the 7th and 8th grade class is going awesome, kids are really getting it, home life is great, we have drawn closer as a family, there should be no reason why He would need me to stay in Louisiana, right?

Sure He would, do I know what that reason is right now?  Maybe, but I would be guessing.  Do I need to know why?  Nope, if I truly trust in Him, I don't need to know, will this stop me from asking?  Probably not.  (I am human after all).

As I continue to work with the skilled folks around me to find out why the equipment is not working as it is intended, I need to keep in mind something DCTalk said in a song - "If it's my will - I'm not moving, if it's Your Will - nothing can shake me..."

Remember when you feel like you got the short end of the stick and NOTHING is going your way - if you are in His Will, take comfort in the fact that it is going the RIGHT way.
