You never know

So tonight is one of those sleepless nights. I am hurting so bad and fighting the tears. Its funny how a not so bad pain day can turn into a really painful night.  I guess it just exemplifies that there aren't any guaranties in life. You can plan and have things to where you think they will turn out how you want them to and they might or probably will. Sometimes these things we can easily see how our plan wasn't as great as what God had in plan for us. I have had several of those throughout my life and its good to be able to look back and see how God has worked in our lives. I can remember one really hard time in my life that actually shaped who i am today. Even though it still seems harsh and hard to accept that thats how it had to happen. Though i hated that it happened. If it were not for that event i would not have learned who i was, spread my wings a bit and learn a few important lessons from God that he used to shape me to who i am. However, there are sometimes we can't see, and may never be able to see how God is using it in his plan. These are the really hard parts of life. Although we can't see what God is doing in these hard times we must remember God is with us through out it all and wants to comfort us and  may teach us, correct us or use that situation in a way we can't imagine. I don't know why things happen the way they do, why our plans and our strongest wills are not realized sometimes but I am thankful that God is here with us throughout it.  The lady at the lady's get together last night brought up a good verse and it with a few others i thought fitting.
habakuk 3:17-19
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom , neither shall fruit be in the vines;the labour of the olive shall fail , and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in theGod of my salvation. 19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

Romans 8:38-39

38 For I am persuaded , that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, northings present , nor things to come , 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall beable to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish , yet the inward man is renewed day by day.   For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;   While we look not at the things which are seen , but at the things which are not seen : for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Ephesians 3:17-21

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,   May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;   And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.   Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us,   Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen
