Big Plans

Matthew West has a song were he sings about staying in the center of God's plan for him. As I was listening to this song, I realized a couple of things. First, there is nothing more important then seeking God. Second, there is nothing more rewarding then being in the center of God's care. Today I realized I am exactly where God wants me. There are many scary choices I had to make to get me here and I had no idea what some of the details would entail, but here I am! I have fallen into the habit of listening to a message while I am baking for work at 5am, then listening to worship music before my co-workers show up! Today I listened to Matthew West! Just as the white chocolate and raspberry scones were coming out of the oven, I had the most incredible realization. So far in my twenty years on this earth, I have only had one other realization so clear to me. Taking those scones out of the oven was exactly what God wanted me to do. I have never had a feeling of being safe like I felt at that moment. When I was young and the baby sitter was over, I could never fall asleep until my parents got home, because I didn't feel safe. In a kitchen at 5:30 am, with no one else around, I felt the presence of God surround, protect, and assure me! I am exactly where the plan of God has me and wants me to be! I am in the center of God's plan for my life and there is no better place to be!
