Sometimes, even the best-laid plans don\u2019t work out. There\u2019s nothing wrong with planning, and, in fact, it\u2019s healthy. However, what I have learned since I was a teen is that God is working His purposes through all things, even when my own plans fall apart.\nTrust me, I know personally the pain of a lost dream and plan.\nMy fianc\xc3\xa9 was someone I really loved. We seemed perfect for each other in every way, but ultimately, when we were planning our future, we felt God pulling us in separate directions.\nIt hurt bad. There aren\u2019t words to express the anguish of a broken heart.\nBut do you know what? Because he and I mutually and maturely ended our relationship, I finally took notice of another man who\u2019d always been there for me. This young man helped me through this hardship and many others. Years later, I married him, and we now have four beautiful children together.\nIt\u2019s good to plan some things, but even when our lives don\u2019t go according to our plans, we can know that in Christno matter what we faceGod loves us and is working all things out for His good purposes.
