The other day my Grandma Barb was watching a TV show on PBS that had a bunch of people who were famous "back in the day" come perform. There was one song that I really liked though... I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's called, "Que Sera, Sera" by Doris Day. "Que sera, sera" is Spanish for, "Whatever will be, will be." I just couldn't help but feel attracted to that song! The chorus goes, "Que sera, sera/ Whatever will be, will be/ The future's not ours, to see/ Que sera, sera/ What will be, will be."
I was thinking about those lyrics, and it's 100% true! A lot of times, we try to plan ahead. Here's an example: You have a huge crush on this guy/girl- you've liked him/her for over a year. You used to be friends with him/her, but then stopped talking to each other at all. So you think, "It'll never work out. He/She'll never talk to me, and qll of my dreams will be shattered." So you pretty much give up. But if you two are meant to be, then it's going to work out in the end. Maybe you'll be paired up with him/her in a Counselor program for a camp- you'll see each other every day for a whole summer... a whole lotta bonding time, right? You'll fall for each other, and then on your/her 21st birthday, you'll/he'll propose. Que sera, sera!
OK, so that was just an example- that probably won't be your exact story... but you get the point. If God has planned something to happen, then it will happen. That doesn't mean that we can just sit around the house eating chips and watching TV all day expecting the right guy to stop by your house and propose. You still have to put a little effort into things! But if you do your part, God's plan is coming alive!
Good point, but you do have to sit around sometimes for a bit, ya know? but i do agree that you should do something about it instead only sitting around and not doing anything, but like you said God has a plan of his own.
