Planning is the Key

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) says, For I know the plans I have for you “says the Lord”, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. As I am just beginning retirement I can reflect back on my life and see where God has been planning my entire life for this moment. I had no idea until about April of this year that I would “even” retire this early in life, much less know what I would be doing in retirement. Well, I serve an awesome God; an all knowing God and the ultimate planner. I have a plan to market my books, write more books, maybe write another song. I also have plans to get my house organized; although I’m not real excited about that. Ha! Ha! And as I’ve been writing about in my other blogs, I have a plan to build a WINNERS walking group to help not only myself but all women get physically and spiritually fit. Some of these plans will be more easy than others depending on my excitement level. Nevertheless, these are my plans. It is my belief that God has orchestrated my life to be where I am at this very moment and He will guide me in carrying out my plans. For my plans are His plans. And in everything I give thanks to Him. He has plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. So I step out in faith as I walk another mile, as I write another book, and as I speak to women and tell my story; for God gives me hope and my future is in His hands. The future has never been more exciting. I’m looking forward to watching God’s plan unfold!!!
