Plans...

Rarely go my way! And I thank God for that..hahha. I daydream and plan in my head constantly, about everything!! And God is continually teaching me to let Him guide me, to trust that He knows what my soul truly needs.

A wonderful example of this, Halloween! I kid you not as Erik and I were driving home from last year's Halloween party (which was WAY FUN) I was planning what we would do this Halloween. We decided we would dress up as Captain Hook (Erik) and Peter Pan (me). So then a year passes and we are trying to decide when to get our costumes and where we were going to celebrate. At this point its not even fun and its the week before finals. We were stressed and tired due to work and school schedules, yet we HAD to stick to the plan. Finally, Erik being the more sane, realistic one as usual suggests we just let it go. I had been planning for a year how much fun we would have... how could we just not do it?! But we didn't, I spent the day in the library studying and Erik was at work. Then we met at school and had one of the funnest nights!! What did we do? Had dinner at Panda Express :) Sitting across the table from my best friend and eating my orange chicken I knew things were exactly as they were meant to be!!

We both still love that night, and remember that our Joy is NOT defined by our circumstances.
