THE STEMMONS FAMILY: A Perfect Day

Got word late Tuesday that my plans for Wednesday were going to change. I was a bit frustrated with this. You see, I'm a planner and I didn't decide to change my plans. Someone else did that for me. I got up early Wednesday morning to go for a run. It was so nice and cool. Quite a change from the heat we have been experiencing. After my run, some time in the Word and talking with God, I decided instead of focusing on being frustrated, I'd make the most of the beautiful day with my girls. So I got them dressed in their swimming dresses (I knew water play would be involved), packed a few snacks and drinks and we drove out to the OKC Zoo.

The weather was amazing-could not believe it was an August day in OK. The zoo wasn't' too busy, many schools had begun. Usually I schedule days/trips like this, but I didn't really have time to plan. Yet it turned out to be the perfect day for my girls and I. My plans got interrupted, changed, but it was so much better than what I had originally planned.

Waiting for the Sea Lion Show

In life, we set goals, plan for the future, but God often takes us down another path. Instead of becoming frustrated, step out in faith and go where He leads. Embrace the adventure and trust that He makes all things work together for your good. Romans 8:28.

"God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!"

Ephesians 3:20 Msg

I pray that God continues to interrupt my plans!
