Different Plans

Well, God continues to show me that my ways are often not His. This morning, I got Sofia all prettied up in her gorgeous Easter dress, bow in her hair, tights and shoes on. She played for a bit while I finished getting ready, and sure enough, not 15 minutes before it was time to leave, Sofia had gotten "tummy sick" and it leaked all through her beautiful cream dress!! So, off our dresses went and on our jeans were. I'm not going to lie, I had my meltdown moment, had my self-pity party and felt incredibly sorry for myself. {I even called my friend sobbing...Pathetic, I know!} However, the words to this song came to my mind...

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine

This song by Casting Crowns is called Glorious Day! What a GLORIOUS day today is! That is SOO much bigger than my self-pity party because my LORD and Savior has RISEN!
