God's Plan > Mine

“‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,’ declares the LORD.
‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.’”

Isaiah 55:8-9


I was supposed to go back to Haiti this summer. It was the second year in a row I had planned to return. But God closed the door again. I don’t understand why He hasn’t allowed me to return to one of the countries I love so dearly. But I have peace knowing my God does nothing without reason. I trust that one day, in His perfect timing, I will return to my beloved Haiti.

Waiting Room

Here in this waiting room
Yearning for You to say go
And though I'm convinced that a yes would be best
This time You're telling me no
 
It's not that I don't have an answer
It's just not the one that I'd like
But through this time Lord I must keep in mind
You're always wiser than I
 
'Cause You have a much better purpose
And You have a far greater plan
And You have a bigger perspective
'Cause You hold this world in Your hands
 
The things that I seek are from You
Like the strong healing touch of Your hand
But when You say no, help me trust even though
There's a reason I can't understand
 
'Cause You have a much better purpose
And You have a far greater plan
And You have a bigger perspective
'Cause You hold this world in Your hands
 
When that miracle comes 'cause Your answer is yes
I will praise You for all of my days
But when Your wisdom declares that a no is best
I will praise You just the same
 
You have a much better purpose
And You have a far greater plan
And You have a bigger perspective
'Cause You hold this world in Your hands
You hold this world in Your hands
