Journey beyond plans..

Dear gentle readers!

Sounds familiar? Well, that’s how Lady Whistledown from Bridgerton addresses her readers. I've been watching this series  and can't stop myself from acting like one of my favorite characters. But I'm not here to give my insights on the series; I'm here to share some experiences again.

I'm back quite early after my last blog, as it depends on how much I'm cooked. These last few days have felt like a marathon. It seems like everything was happening at the same time, and we all have those days. Thus, cooked!

But what was that one ingredient driving me the most crazy? Sometimes it takes a while to truly understand the real problem that’s bothering you.

It was “why isn’t my plan working?” So, just to give a brief background, I think I might be the biggest planner in the world. I plan everything. I go to sleep planning my next day and wake up with an already pre-planned routine and bucket list. What to eat, what not to eat, what to read, and what not!

I think planning is the most basic trait of us human beings, but expecting everything to work accordingly is what is dangerous. That’s exactly what happens, too. It makes us angry, anxious, underconfident, and doubtful of ourselves, asking, “Am I good enough?”

But slowly and gradually, when things start falling into place, everything seems perfectly alright. So perfect that one cannot even imagine. But how??? It’s not what was planned after all.

Because it’s what destiny has decided. What you can’t see is what God sees.

Being a faithful child of God, He plans so well for me that I cannot even dream of. And thus, accepting the fact that I cannot control most things gives me relief, and it feels so light on my head.

Not that I have abandoned planning, as it’s really important too, but sometimes going with the flow without worrying about the future and, most of all, understanding the fact that good things take time, we are all living our lives patiently.
