faith and timing

Heavenly Father has taught me this principle time and time again. 

Every time I try to make a "plan" for my life, or even for the next month,

God gently laughs, says "that's a nice thought, but here's what we are really going to do"

But this time I am really learning it the hard way.

And I really being forced to rely on him and trust Him.

which is one of the coolest and hardest experiences of my life.
It's really doesn't sound like a big deal but to me it is.
I have to learn to trust God completely with my whole heart in the small things, so one day when bigger things come I can trust him completely with my whole heart in those things to. 

Ever since the announcement of the mission age change, really 

I have felt that I need to go on a mission as soon as possible. 

 I have met with the Bishop and finished my papers today.

Put my availability as December 26th. 

I finished everything and it is set to go. 

1 week. 

Done. 

But turns our our Stake President is out of town for 3 weeks.

Convenient.
In the grand scheme of things, 3 more weeks is not a significant amount of time.
For the next three weeks though, it will be a greatly significant amount of time. 

Sometimes (okay pretty much all of the time) our will is not His.

Our thoughts are not His. 

And I am ok with that. 

Because His plan is always much better than anything I could imagine for myself. 

Please bless that I will maintain my sanity in the next few weeks.
