I have a plan for you

Have you ever looked at your friends around you and feel happy that they are doing well? Then look at yourself and wonder if you will get there? It is certainly not a very good place to be.

Every so often I find myself directionless and seeking for the path that God has prepared for me, not knowing what that path might be... I can really identify with the song "Help me find it" by Sidewalk Prophets. Not knowing is a very painful experience but the total surrender to God's revelation in His time takes such great faith and trust that right now I'm not sure I have a fraction of.

Today at mass, we were approached to bring up the bread and wine for the offertory. I was pleasantly surprised, that we of all the people in church were chosen. I have always felt that it is a great honour to offer up the bread and wine during mass. Today, as we held the offertory in our hands, walking down the church aisle, I felt that I was offering up myself as well to the Lord. I sense God telling me that He has a plan for me, that I should not worry but believe.

Thank you Lord for the beautiful encounter at Mass. May I be surprised by you everyday.
