This post started with me realizing one of my most used GIFs was this:

Most used when someone says something or something will happen and I’m like, “We’ll see.”

This is also how I start blog posts when I don’t know how it’ll go. I think, “We’ll see.”

I’m more positive than I used to be, but I’m still skeptical. But is it skeptical or cautious? How do we know the difference? (Will not be answered by me here)

A lot of times, I’m like if it happens, it happens and that’s great, but I also want to be prepared for the what ifs – what if it doesn’t happen?

A few weeks ago, during my pastor’s sermon, he said something about being a planner and how planners sometimes can’t pivot. They can’t get interrupted because it’s not in the plans. Interruptions happen. Plans change. Life happens. Being a planner is great. Non-planners probably wish they could plan. Planners like me wish I could float around without a plan (not really, tbh). There are pros and cons with both. Like non-planners can pivot. Planners have a harder time, but when we leave our planning with God, we’re more likely to pivot because He’s leading us.

As a planner, I’m often disappointed when things don’t happen as planned. Little things I’ve learned to let go of. It’s the big things I still wrestle with. I remember that God is for me, not against me in anyway. If my plans don’t work out, it’s because they weren’t meant for me, they weren’t part of His will for me, not part of His divine plans.

So at the end of the day, we’ll see what God has for us.
