By Accident?

I don't even know if anyone reads blogs but what a great way for me to tell someone, even if they are imagined, the inner struggles and triumphs in my life. God is doing such an overhaul in my life lately that I spend most mornings with tears in my eyes. For the most part they're tears of joy. How in the world He chose me to be the recipient of His wild, over the top, outrageous love and grace is so far beyond me that it makes my head spin and out pop the tears. Last week was my last week of work. I quit to be home with the children, to allow myself more time to help others and to focus on spending time in the word. It wasn't an easy choice but God was very kind and for a while daily DAILY gave me reminders of what's really important. Today is my second day at home and what a joy it is.
So what's with the title? BY Accident? I wonder if perhaps there is no such thing. Did you stumble upon this blog "by accident" or did God lead you here so that you and I could connect? Maybe you don't even think God is real. Maybe the life handed to you has been so hard lately that the idea of God loving you is laughable. Hang in their sweet thing. Let Him do the work He has set out to accomplish. I love LOVE LOVE Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord,"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." When your Plan A is catastrophically falling apart, perhaps it's because God's plan A is in motion. How smart we would be if we'd hand over the reins to the One who is really incontrol anyway.
