His plan

So today my thoughts are a lot about how the lord places people in our lives for a reason; also that he prepares us in advanced for things we will go through. I am so blessed to have met the people i have in my life. Each person whether they were/are in my life for a long time or short time, have influenced the person i have become and will be. They have each taught me something about not only myself but about this glorious plan of happiness the lord has in store for us. I mean really think about it. take someone in your life that you know, doesn't have to be someone close. but take a look the things you have learned from them. You learn something from everyone you meet, whether it be good or bad. Also not only does the lord place certain people in our paths at certain times, but he also prepares us in advance for things to come. I know for certain that the events taking place in my life right now, i was prepared by a loving heavenly father years ago for these events. he prepares us for the battles we face. He doesn't blind side us and just send us into battle without any armor or preparation. We may not know we are being prepared but we are. Don't be afraid to let the lord prepare you and don't be afraid to lead the army into battle as long as you rely on the lord.
