Turns out my day was packed with many surprises way more beautiful than what I had planned...  

We went to the movies and LAUGHED,  we went for a facial and massages, then we had Sushi for lunch & Tex-Mex for dinner - 2 of my favorites! They even scheduled a nap that I failed to take but at least they knew that I love naptime!!

I'm a planner by nature and profession, so let's just say that I was IMPRESSED:) Let's also say that right down to the last moments of the day, I'd already experienced so much more of what I would have wanted for myself, but had neither the capacity or thoughtfulness for myself to get it all done! 

Isn't that like God though? 

As soon as He "cancels" or "postpones" our plans we get shaky and think, "Why is He ruining my plans? Howww is this supposed to work out now?" Meanwhile, He just threw in a remix and upgraded OUR plans to more than what we could have imagined, more than what we could have figured out or properly executed on our own..

THAT was my day. My day - could preach, but I won't!  ; )  All I had to do was follow instructions, trust my sisters and "my driver" to take me where I would have needed to go to enjoy my birthday (or in the "GOD scheme of things," LIFE!). 

I had to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. I also had to take orders, but that's okay.  All things work together. This birthday was for the books:) I laughed until I cried. And now I have to figure out how to make their birthdays even more awesome in the years to come!

..If my yesterday... was any indication of my year to come,  then I will continue to trust and take orders.

 

My birthday served a great reminder...  God's plans are better than mine.
