When I am having trouble sleeping at night there is always a reason. Last night was no different. I needed to hear what my Lord had to say to me and while I am lying there in the quiet and still of the night it seems I hear Him the best. The distractions of the day are removed and I seem to have be better able to listen. Annacarmie came home last week and informed me she was changing her major from elementary education to social work. This is at a time she should be about ready to graduate. I wanted to scream however, I tried to listen objectively. The only thing I heard over and over was that she did not have to have college algebra to get her Bachelor's in social work. That sounded extremely good because she has dropped the class five times and I was wondering and praying about how she was going to pass college algebra. Was that going to be the class that kept her from getting her degree? God works in little things like college algebra. From the time she was a little girl she wanted to be a teacher. How could God be directing her in a different path now? Why have we spent all this money on tuition and now He directs in another path? I do not have the answers to any of these questions. I may never have the answers this side of heaven. I do know what the Lord impressed on my heart last night. He has a plan in all of this and it does not necessarily coencide whit my plans. In Jeremiah 29:11 He brought to my mind His plans for her which are to prosper her and give her hope and a future. That is all I ever wanted for her it is just taking a very different turn that I expected. Unexpected turns play havock with me being as OCD as I am. I am trusting Him.
