I grew up on hymns in church; therefore, when I go through anything or have any new event in life, usually some kind of hymn lyric pops in my head. Today, it's the popular tune "Trust and Obey."
"Trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
I knew that once I got a "plan" for this coming year, something would happen and it would not go the way I thought. But still, I always kind of hope that this time the "plan" will work out. Well it isn't, and even though God has proven Himself so faithfully time and time again, my first reaction is to say "God? Really?"
I am learning to just let the peace that passes understanding rule my emotions, not the flightiness of day to day life. It's a difficult lesson to practice, but so worth it. I want to be "happy in Jesus," so I will learn to "trust and obey."

I hate when my plans fall through. Pretty much it sucks. But I also hate when God's plan works out better. It's like a kick in the face... without the joy of peanut butter.
You're my favorite and you are successful in life.
