Expect the Unexpected

Life is full of the unexpected. A father finds out he has terminal cancer. A young women finds out she is pregnant. These things change the course of someones life. It is a whole different plan than what they had all along. We wake up one day only to hear something that will forever change the way we live. But that is what life is all about right? We can't control what happens as much as we would like to think we can. So what do we do when those things happen in our lives? In the past year I have been able to see some of the things that have happened around me that was not part of the "plan." What helps me is I know that God has his hand on everything, and He sees the big picture, when we only know what is going on at that moment, and we don't know the ending result. What we can do though is expect the unexpected, and know that nothing is unexpected to God. He knows what is going to happen before it ever does. And He isn't sitting around wondering how it will work out, or what the purpose of it is.
