On the Porch
Onisha Ellis
I learned last year that my plans are not always God’s plans and for 2013 I am offering up my plans and timetables to God. It is already getting interesting trying to schedule our lives in two places.
For Christmas my husband made me a wonderful cold frame for starting seeds and the warm Florida weather has me eager to get started on our summer garden in North Carolina. Our plan was to start our plants in the cold frame six weeks before planting time. Now it seems that isn’t going to work out and that’s ok. Plans are just plans. I don’t want to miss out on a single blessing by insisting on living life my way.

Friends, thank you for the comments. They truly meant a lot to me. “As I sat in front of my keyboard to write this blog, all I could think was Lord, I am so empty. I sat there and searched my mind and heart for what was my current frustration. Once I had typed my thoughts I looked at the words feeling chagrin I couldn’t produce more. Then the sweet encourager spoke to me and gently reminded that what I share isn’t always just about me.
