Can You Hear Me Now?

How has your Tuesday started out?  Here is mine

6:15 – Overslept (should have been up by 5:50 .. not what I had planned)

7:00 – Shot Possum my Dog treed in the yard (Should have been drinking coffee… not what I had planned)

7:50 – Tyler realized he left bookbag in Dad’s truck (we Should have been at school already)

8:00 – Dad arrives at school with bookbag (Dad should have been in Clinton)

8:05 – Bill tells me his plans are not going according to plan (I Tell Bill Welcome to my world)

8:06 – Bill gets frustrated

9:00 -  Bill calls back and proceeds to tell me his day is not going according to plan…… again

9:30 – Myranda texts me that she can’t hear out of her left ear… for the last several days (not what I had planned)

9:35 – Call Doctor (he can’t see her… it wasn’t scheduled – not in his plans)

9:45 – Call Bill… tell him he may need to pick up Tyler at Practice

9:46 – Bill tells me…  this is not what I had planned

9:48 – I tell Bill to “Welcome to my world”

9:49 – Bill gets frustrated again

10:15 – Bill proceeds to tell a friend he may not be able to help him this afternoon  (Friend thinks… this is not what I had planned)

Moral of the story…   God has His own plans for us!

What are we to do?

According to the sermon Sunday…  Pastor Allard used the phrase from Verizon..  “Can You Hear Me Now”.    Almost everything that happens to us or around us God is asking, “Can you hear me now?”  In response to this and my day..  I will chuckle at my lame attempt to think that I know better than God how my day should progress and sit down where it is quiet and say, “  OK God, you have my undivided attention,  I can hear you now..  What will you have me do and where will you send me?”..  And from this point,  understand that my way is not always the best way.
