1 Corinthians 2:9
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind
has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
As many
people who know me well may understand, I don’t like situations that I cannot
plan out and control. If I can’t organize myself, and follow a pre-made plan of
my own design, I can become anxious about various situations. Thus, deciding to
come on this trip, wherein which things rarely go as planned, was rather out of
character for me. However, as a result, I have been forced to look at things in
a new way, and with a new perspective. I have been forced to follow God’s plan
for me, and to let him take control, instead of trying to do everything myself.
Over the
years, my mother has often said this to me (that I need to allow God to take
control in my life, and not try to do everything myself), and I have been very
reluctant to accept it as truth. However, coming on this trip opened my mind to
the necessity of allowing God to be my vision.
In reality,
I can’t control anything. I can’t reach my dreams on my own, or achieve what I
want to achieve in my life without allowing God to show me what His plan is,
instead of attempting to follow my own. Over the course of this trip, it has
become apparent to me that God has a plan, and regardless of what I do, or what
anyone else does, God’s plan will always pan out in the end–and it is truly
magnificent, and far better than anything that I could imagine.
