Throughout our lives, we all have to make important decisions. Whether it's what school to go to, what to major in, what job to take, or even who to marry, we all have to make a decision and face what all those decisions will bring. When we make these decisions, however, we often ask ourselves one question: What if? What if I had chosen to go to a different college? What if I had chosen a different major? What if I wasn't in this relationship?

When we are forced to chose something, our thoughts often go wild thinking of what could have been and maybe what should have been. Sometimes when we think and feel like we have made the wrong decision, we also think we have missed out on God's plans for our lives. What if my one choice wasn't what God intended and I have messed up all His plans? What if I took the completely wrong path?

"If you think you've blown God's plan for your life, rest in this: You, my beautiful friend, are not that powerful." — Lisa Bever

You cannot change God's plans. You cannot miss them. Sure, you may take a wrong turn and add a detour to His path, but He will ultimately get you to where He wants you.

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 hope and a future.'"

God already knows where you are going. He has your destination set. You cannot miss His purpose and His path. We literally do not have the power to change what God has already planned and set in place.

Even when you feel like you took a wrong turn or made the wrong decision, trust that God has you on His path. He will lead you to where He wants you to go, if you will let Him. You have to listen to His voice and let Him move you in the right direction.

Next time you wonder if you missed HIs plan or path, trust Him. Give your worry away and have faith that God is watching over you and leading you.

God's got you, my friend.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
