Bigger plans

"We are not giving you the promotion but I have bigger plans for you."  That was the way the conversation started with my boss this afternoon. This is the second time I have tried for this and not made the mark. I am glad for the guy who got the position but at the same time I am have to figure out how to take it. 

  This not the first time in the last few weeks were the idea of someone having bigger plans for me has crossed my mind. In church for the last few weeks pastor has been talking about trusting Gods plans and not ours. We all come to a point in our lives where we must choose between our will and Gods perfect plan. Some of the time God tells us " I am not giving you this thing you want that is a good thing. But I have something better planed for you, you just have to wait." How hard is the waiting!! Abraham was told this many times and sometimes he waited and other times he did not. The bible is full of stories where men and women of faith were forced to make the same choices. 

There is a song by Casting Crowns that has been on my mind since that conversation earlier today and that is Dream for You. Here is part of it. 

"So come on, let Me dream, let Me dream for you

I am strong when you're weak and I'll carry you

So let go of your plan, be caught by My hand

I'll show you what I can do

When I dream for you

When I dream for you."

When we allow God, the dream giver, to dream for us the dreams we get are so beyond what we could ever think or dare to ask. So take the disappointments of this life and give them to the plan maker for He is not done yet. 

Here is link to a new song I heard the other day that also has been playing in the back of my mind Danny Gokey -Haven't seen it Yet. This song is making its way to the top spot on my list.
