In my life, I trust that God has a plan for me. Life is still difficult at times. There is no way for me to know what His plan is and how life will play out. It can be frustrating going through life and not knowing what’s in store for you, but I choose to trust in His plan.

Now, trusting that He has a plan isn't me throwing my hands up and accepting what I am given. It's me going out there and taking what life and God puts in front of me and adapting to the opportunities and situations thrown my way.

I have my own plan. It involves amazing, great and wondrous goals, dreams, and adventures. I want them to be fulfilled, I want to accomplish what I set out wanting. As things come my way, both good and bad, I have trust that God put them there to make me better.

Having my own plan is great because if not, I wouldn’t go anywhere. I would just be wandering through life aimlessly. Because I trust in God’s plan I am able to adjust to the roadblocks and bumps that come up in my path, knowing that He has something else in store for me. He gives me the strength to overcome and to learn from the challenges set before me and I become better because of it.

Now I'm not saying I'm always happy with God's plan. Especially as someone who likes to look ahead and have certainty, it's hard to plan when someone else has another path in store for you. As someone who has faced their share of failure and frustration, it is easy to throw your hands up and becomes frustrated with God or yourself when the path you thought you were supposed to be on isn't the one God intended for you.

He has greatness in store for me. I cannot see the plans He has set for me, but every moment and every step is leading me towards His plan. Once I get there, or even as I gain small victories and taste that happiness I search for, I thank God for the path He has set before me. He walked beside me on with all my challenges, roadblocks and my unanswered prayers.

I will keep working on my plan, knowing that it will change and adjust, I will be better in the end for it. I’ll remember that when it’s not better that everything happens for a reason and that this is not the end, but just another way to help me grow.
