This morning I am headed in to HR to begin processing my new hire paperwork. Such a GREAT feeling!!!!

As I think about heading up there this morning, I am reflecting on Proverbs 19:12:

"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."

I am reflecting on this because when I resigned from the district several years ago I swore I would NEVER work for the district again. I was so burned out and sick of it -- and had absolutely no desire to ever return.

But God apparently had other plans for me -- and what great plans!... I am really looking forward to this fantastic career opportunity that I am embarking on.

But this also makes me think of my W and all other MLCer's who talk about "no desire" to work on the marriage and seem so certain that they are not in love with us, never have been, and never will be again... In my heart, my response to that is "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." If it is God's Will, then it will eventually happen one way or another -- just like me going back to the district that I "divorced" with "no desire" to ever return to again.

The trick for the LBS is to learn to trust God (or the Universe if that is your preference), to let go and let God, and "be still" so God can work. I have finally learned this (the hard way) and am just letting W go on with her plans... With full faith that what God intends for us will happen regardless of what either of us think about the current circumstances between us (and between W and the OW).

Life is certainly never boring when you start to look at the big picture.

Time to finish getting ready so I can head over there...
