"We must be ready to allow ourselves to be
interrupted by God.....We must not.....assume that our schedule is our
own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.”~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
You know me... I am a list maker. I've got a plan, and I like to see things marked off.
But it doesn't always work that way - does it?
Sometimes there are interruptions. Disruptions. Changes in plans.
I have two choices...
I can get frustrated, angry, or discouraged.
Or I can go along with it.
Look at it as a lesson on how life isn't lived according to my plan, but according to God's plan.
A new opportunity to say "Yes" to God and see what exciting opportunity He has for me rather than what I had planned.
Short sweet and to the point. I love it. We really do have a choice and it's amazing to see what He will do when we let Him have control. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Beckey! I am coming over from Wisdom Wednesdays.
What wisdom here! I know what you mean about getting interrupted. So often, I'm so wrapped up in what I am doing that I don't see the distraction as opportunity. What a great point. I love it!
I hope I'll be better at seeing it all as my choice, and then choosing to be happy :) Ceil

I'm not claiming to have mastered the more positive choice. But I am learning. :0)
