So recently me and one of my best friends Michael headed down 17th street to one of our favorite restaurants, The Greatful Bread. If you have never been, please go and check it out, you won't regret it.
As we sat and ate we started talking about our futures. He asked me where I thought I would end up teaching and if I still planned on going overseas to do The World Race. I told him about all the options I was debating but not really worrying too much about it because where I end up is ultimately God's decision. Then he proceeded to tell me about a book.
This book is entitled, The Irresistible Revolution. I had actually just heard about this book for the first time this summer, when some friend suggested I read it, but have yet to get my hands on a copy. Michael told me that the author, Shane Claiborne, says something like we should not bother planning our lives because God will "mess up" our plans with His, He does it a lot through out the Bible.
I really liked this a lot because that is how God has revealed Himself to me mostly over the last few years. Just teaching me to wait on Him and know that His plans are higher and better than mine.
I am so glad to be blessed such amazing friends and family in my life. They build me up, keep me going, and bring me back when I have lost my way. Thank you Lord for relationships and community, it really is a beautiful thing.
