"As for me, I shall see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness." Ps. 17:15
A million thoughts float through my head on this, the second day of my thirtieth year(technically my 31st, as my grandmother so kindly reminded me). Am I where I thought I would be and does that even matter?
"I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope." Ps. 16:7-9
The answer is no to both questions. I thought I would be playing full-time in an orchestra and though I've never been worried or anxious about it, I suppose I thought I'd be married by now. I quite honestly couldn't have imagined that at the age of 30 I would be leaving the people and profession that I love so much and moving overseas to work with a mission. But I'm fully confident that God's plans for my life are so much better than any I can make for myself.
"You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Ps. 16:11
So, to borrow a quote from a friend,
"Life is not what I had planned......
It's so much better than anything I ever expected!"
