I remember the day when I just graduated from college and I felt that what I wanted in life seems to be not the direction I was heading in my life and I felt so miserable. I stayed in my room that night and didn't want any dinner at all. My mom knocked in my room and asked if I was okay. She could sense that I was miserable and I didn't have to say anything because she knew what was going on. You can ask, how did she know? is she a good brain reader?
Well, not that, I would say. She sees me everyday in the house and when I leave I tell her I was going somewhere and that I would be doing this...or that....and she would ask me " You seem to be interested in that?" and I usually answer her, "Well, I am but I am trying to see if I can have it..." or "I want to do this....and I hope I will get this job".
So, that night, she pretty much knew how I was feeling. You know what she told me? First she asked me a question. At that time I was doing a temporary job in a hospital. Mom asked me if I know which route to take going to the hospital. "Of course!" was my answer. Then she told me about a route that usually takes when she does her groceries and asked me "Did you know that it's another route to go to your work?"
My answer was, "I didn't know that?". Mom explained to me the reason she said it was because in life sometimes you think that the route you want in life is not actually the route God wanted from you because He has another plan for you with a greater purpose and a plan that He knows that will make you happy. It has been years since my mom said that to me and she sure was right. My life went to the other route where I didn't want to but surprisingly I would like to tell you that God is right, the route He gave me was the best one.
Here's a video to say it in summary....

Valerie,
This is so true!
It is always best to take everything to the Lord, as He knows where we really need to be in life, each step of the way.
Thanks for your comment I really appreciate that. Yes, the Lord knows the plan He has for each of our lives.
