The P.L.A.N.

Am I fitting into God's Plan?
What are my Longings?
What are my Abilities?
Am I serving God Now?

"From now on, then, you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God's will and not by human desires" (1 Pet 4:2)

As I read this today I began to think about what my P.L.A.N. really is. I wondered what it would be like to completely be in God's plan! I desire to be in His plan. I have abilities that I often do not use to glorify Him. How am I serving God now? How are you serving God now?

I was delivered with some sad news today that I really did not want to hear. My aunt Brenda was diagnosed with breast cancer a while back. She has been through Chemo and radiation. After going to the doctor this past week, she found out that her cancer was back. When they did a p.e.t. scan they found cancer everywhere. I can remember as a young child staying the night with her. We would sit on the bed and laugh until wee hours of the morning. She would be laughing at me and her son Shaun. We would play dress-up in her closet...mess up the living room and just be kids. I felt free at her house, free as in I could do anything and get by with it. She would always be awake before us and cook us breakfast. I love Brenda. The best thing that I can think of is that she was such a bold witness for Christ all through out my childhood. She would pick me up from my mom's house and take me to church. She shared the word with me. She planted more seeds that she will ever know. I use to pray that one day I could be as bold as she was. You have to understand Brenda is only 5'3"... so at age 10 I was as tall as she is! As I reflect on my childhood and my dealings with her, my eyes swell up with tears. I feel that she is too young to die, too young to have all this cancer. Truth is, cancer knows no age. It attacks viciously. It is silent. However, I know that through all of this..GOD HAS A PLAN! Right now, we are praying for her will. She is a fighter. They will be placing a central line to start administering Chemo once again. She is in great spirits. She knows that our God is able to heal if it is His will. Please pray for her, pray for my cousins Shaun and Audrey. Pray for my uncle Darrell.

So, as I reflect on my P.L.A.N.. am I doing what God's will is for me? What kind of legacy will I leave? What kind of legacy will you leave?
