I will Never…
// August 16th, 2011 // Very Funny, God
Have you ever made the statement, “I will
never…” I have a feeling a lot of you have,
I have, too. I wanted to share with you
some of my “never” statements.
“I will never have my kids that close together.”
~My girls are 11.5 months apart.
“I will never move back to Peoria.”
~Guess where I live now? Yup, Peoria.
“I will never have Frida Kahlo eyebrows.”
~Well, this mother of two can’t pluck those brows DAILY like I did in high school. I literally plucked my eyebrows every night before I went to bed. Oh to have that much time on my hands again…
“I will never live in a big city.”
~Remember when I moved to Phoenix in 2005? I would consider that a big city–it being the 6th largest city in the United States and all. Peoria is the 7th most populated city…in Illinois.
Now I don’t really think the consequences of my “never” statements are just a coincidence. I think that God has a sense of humor. I can almost picture a little smirk from Him as I spout off “never” statements.
My plan noun–the “program of action*” you shouldn’t even make because God has it all figured out anyway.
I think the end results of my “never” statements are little reminders, nudges, from God letting me know He has it all under control. God’s plan for me, you, everyone is more perfect and detailed than any of us could ever imagine. I want to encourage you to stop and think before saying your “never” statements. Be open minded to the bigger and better things God may have in store for you. Another plus to not making “never” statements–you won’t have to eat your words later.
