Different Plan

My alarm went off, and before I knew it, my hand clicked the snooze button. Several times I mindlessly clicked snooze as I dozed off between each ring. Next thing I remember, I grasped my phone and viewed the time. It was 9:26, and I was supposed to be at Sabbath School at 9:30… My half asleep apathy decided that since church was just several doors down from me, I would collect myself and go for church. 10:40 came buy quickly and I hurried down the hall to the chapel where ARME was located for the morning. So far, the meetings had been excellent, uplifting. Ivor Myer’s spoke for church…Mind Blown. His message was spoken just for me. He trailed through the Bible and how each book of the Bible is a part of the Great controversy. I wish everyone could have heard the sermon; it blew me out of the water. The depth, and enthusiasm, and detail were phenomenal. It was there that I came to terms that God may have a different plan in mind for me than I was thinking. I wish so badly that I could express what I learned. My mind was on so many different ideas. It was so uplifting to go to the united prayer sessions. I didn’t go to the all night session, and I wish I had, I loath the fact that I rejected that opportunity to pray and hear blessings and be blessed. God's plan has been profusely on my mind this week, wondering what He really wants me to do. This evening, I went for a run, and after my run, I decided to spend time with God. So, I sat near a stream, and prayed. The peace that passes all understanding was present. To sit there and listen, and talk to God was fulfilling. I addressed topics that I have questions about, and may not have gotten a direct answer, but I have peace that God will lead in where He wants me for next year. So many times I find myself talking to God, but not listening. So I made it a focus to listen… Every time I take out quality time for God, I wonder why I don’t do it more often. He is so incredible, and there is something completely healing about being in His presence spending time with Him. So tender and refreshing. His will be done.
