Seize The Day

I admit it…I like routine. I like planning out the day, and sticking to the plan.

But I wished I knew then, what I know now!

“Expect the Unexpected”

If someone would have given me that advice in my 30’s, I would have walked right by them thinking, “They don’t know my plans. Expect the Unexpected, what kind of nonsense is that?”

How I wished I would have embraced the days that didn’t go to plan! How many divine encounters I must have missed because ALL I could see was MY plan…not His.

“That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another, than you can separate a breeze from the wind.” -Mitch Albom, “The Five People You Meet In Heaven”

So, this was a hard one to learn for someone like me who likes routine…who likes a plan. Expect the Unexpected. There’s your sign! God is presenting a gift. Welcome it, instead of looking at your plan that’s falling apart, slipping through your fingers.

Learn from Mitch Albom’s quote. Don’t wait till heaven to meet those “Five People”. They may be just around the next failed plan…

…Seize The Day.

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans…In their hearts humans plan their way, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:3,9
