This time last year I was 110% convinced that I would be in Haiti on a mission trip right now. The minute I came home from the mission trip last year I couldn't wait to go back. A year later, I still can't wait to go back, but this summer just wasn't the right time.

Recently, I've really been questioning God and why He didn't want me to go on another mission trip back to Haiti this summer. I have been struggling with it and telling myself it isn't fair. But as much as I struggle and doubt, God always brings me back to the same conclusion: "My plan is greater than yours, my child."

Just thinking about the fact that God has a plan for me is so comforting. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"

We can find comfort and peace in the fact that God knows what he is doing. Everything, from the smallest things to the biggest, life-changing events, happens for a reason. Everything is part of God's perfect plan for you.

He loves you enough to send His Son to die on a cross for you. To save you.

So even though it can be easy to doubt and question Him, God is working, and His plan is far greater than we could ever imagine.

One day I'll look back on this time in my life, and I'll understand why God didn't send me to Haiti this summer. Yeah, it's hard right now, but one day I'll look back and be able to see exactly what God was doing.
