The Plan That Failed...

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people." - Genesis 50:20 (NLT)

Two weeks has passed since a stranger set out to tip my life off balance. God had other plans.

He used that situation to strengthen ME ...to fill up an empty spot in MY heart ... and to re-confirm that what He had brought together many years ago could not be brought undone now.

What is so amazing about the 'disruption' to my life from two weeks ago? It's the fact that so many people in my life are now better off because of it ... especially ME!

I was blown away when I read this verse from Genesis, as it epitomises the recent upheavel in my life, and how God has used it for His glory ... once again!

Thanks and praise to our Wonderful Lord and Saviour for blessing me so much.
