Just Be Glorified & Change Of Plans

Just Be Glorified

A Prayer:
Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus, I come before You this moment. Life gets really crazy here Lord. I get really confused in when to go and even which way You want me to go. I don’t want to make a mistake and hurt our relationship. I truly desire to please You but I feel as though I will never perform great enough. I want to be a true minister! I want to give myself to Your use alone. Will You use me that people may see You greater? I will try and not complain about the circumstances. Lord, with all of my heart I want You to just be Glorified through my life to this world!! Please, let it be. Amen.





The Wife’s Note: Change of Plans

Before I got saved my main focus was getting into Troy University and becoming a nurse. I had planned on going to Troy for years, probably since I was in the 7th grade. My senior year of high school I graduated with honors and I was headed to my dream school. My show time was finally here. I was about to start my life and everything seemed to be going just like I planned.
In October of my senior year however I got saved. I still believed that my plans for college and dream to be a nurse was how my life was going to play out but things did change in my life when I got saved. Friends changed, the way I looked at myself changed, the places I went changed, etc… I had no idea however that my dream of Troy would come to a screeching halt.
About a month after college began I realized I was not very happy. I dreaded going to school. I honestly felt alone when it came to having friends in college. I had a few close friends but I really only had time to speak to them occasionally. I began to feel out of place. Little did I know things were about to completely change.
I ended up changing my schooling. I started doing online classes to become a dental assistant and worked pretty much all the time. Before I knew it I was in full time ministry. Talk about a turn around of plans. Trust me, if you would have asked me about 3 years ago if I would  be in full time ministry, especially one that is on the road like we are, your answer would have been a big fat NO! You see in my mind education was really all that mattered and education is a good thing. I am not against education at all, but once I met Jesus he simply took my wants and changed them.
Even though the things we want may not be anything bad and it may seem like it makes perfect sense, the Lord may have a different plan. I don’t know where my life would be if I stayed at Troy for four years. The Lord has a plan for each and every one of us. We just need to pray and make sure that our plans match up with the Lord’s. He has bigger and better things in store for our lives if we just allow him to have His way. Seek the Lord about every decision you have to make. He knows exactly what you need to do. I sure am glad he has full control, aren’t you?
