His plans

Tonight I was reminded once more that His plans are better than mine.

Friday night is usually my social night. I get together with friends, have a few laughs and just hang out. This week, there were no such plans. Infact, I found myself stuck at home. At first, it left me a bit down. Then I just decided to make the best of it and try to enjoy myself.

My parents had their friends over and I just sort of hung out with them, not expecting much of the evening. It was a lot better than I expected.

I got into a great discussion about God with my mom's friend. Hours and hours slipped by as we talked about God, about my relationship with Him and what it means to live a Christian life. The conversation was marked with real, raw emotion, true passion, true seeking and interest. It was real. It was refreshing for us both.

Going out with friends tonight would have robbed me of this time. It would have robbed her also from that refreshment. Even though staying home is the LAST thing I wanted to do, it turned out to be the best way to spend an evening.

His plans are better.
