Yes - we have heard it time and again - the best-laid plans of mice and men - very often go sideways - not as planned. So yesterday we took our car in to have a recall taken care of - arrived early - all set - surprise - part need to correct the defect - not available yet - the waiting game continues. This happens frequently in Lent - extensive plans - time made for prayer - reflection - Adoration - then it all falls apart - plans stalled.
God's plan is perfect - in His time - according to His Will. Unfortunately nobody knows His plan - one can only guess. We walk in Faith - taking our cues from His Holy Spirit. Even when our plans for Lent get side tracked - another road is always available to follow. When one door is closed - another opens up. As we spend time seeking a deeper relationship with God - we plan - make adjustments - change our route - open a new door - allow ourselves - to follow the promptings of His Holy Spirit. We are now well into our second week - plan changes or not - we continue - one step after another.
