Future's Endless Possibilities

Well, I deffinitely got a lot of insight on my last post since I posted it. But now it has me wondering. Ok, so everything is possible, there's just certain aspects, yada yada yada, I get it. But how do you focus on just one? Like everyone else, I do have a dream; I have things I want to do, and I have goals that I want to accomplish. But now my question is: what happens in something steps in that could potentially be better than what I've been planning on and working towards? What if I get into the college I want to, work my butt off, graduate and start a great career, but then something happens that could produce an outcome I've never dreamed of and I want to pursue that? What if, in order to do this thing, I have to leave my career and all the other things I've worked for behind? Was all that money and experience for nothing, and realize that I really shouldn't have done all that in the first place? What if I get an even bigger dream that outweighs the first one, now that I've accomplished the first one? I don't know, lots of questioning going on lately. Have a good thanksgiving guys!

God's Plan is Bigger

We all have a plan. We know what we want to do, or where we want to go, or what we want to happen over the course of our lifetime, or where we want to live. Whatever it is, every one of us has a plan. And sad to say, a lot of the time we spend so much time working towards that plan that we miss what we really should be doing.

Perhaps God has something a lot bigger planned for us than what we see now? Maybe, what we once thought was impossible is really very possible and is what God wants us to be doing all along?

But how do you tell the difference between the impossible and the possible? What is truly attainable to one person may not be to another person, so how do we know what we should strive for and what we shouldn't? How do we know that something we are working so hard at, or somthing that we feel should be or is the right thing, really isn't what we should be working towards in the long run? How do we know what to wait for and what not to wait for?

How do we tell the impossible from the impossible?

And which one is God's ultimate plan, and which one is the one that we're obviously not going to get, but desire more than anything?
