I'm a hazard to myself

I don't know if its because I grew up as a pastor's kid...being at the church 23/7 for most of my life..or because getting a sign is more gratifying to my impatient nature...or maybe its because I just want everything to be deeper than it is sometimes...

but I read way too into things.

For whatever reason, I feel like every situation that I encounter has to be turned into some kind of example..some kind of Sunday School answer.
Like there's a moral to every choice that I make...or the bumper sticker on the car in front of me holds the answer to my problems.But really....

some times I think that life is just life. And, even though I want to believe it sometimes, the song playing when I walked into the gym this morning probably wasn't speaking to my situation.

When we're in line with what God has for our lives HE will help us see our situations for what they are. He'll show me the plan He has for my life. 'His plans to prosper [me] and not to harm [me], plans to give [me] hope and a future'. (And a freakin' awesome future if I do say so myself.) But that doesn't mean He's sending me signs through the new episode of Heros, or in what my friends status' are on facebook.

If I could stop trying to fit God into MY plan and just stick to the plan HE has laid out for me, I'd be alot better off.

Today I stop looking too deep into what other people say and do. Cause as much as I love Coldplay, God has way bigger plans for me than can be contained in their songs.




And maybe when its all said and done, I'll have a good story to tell in Sunday school....if not, I'm okay with that too.

Its been a really good day :)
