His plan, our hands

Hi everyone,
So this first month has been very busy with hundreds volunteers! We are starting to get into a routine that we follow week by week, but sometimes life is unpredictable and throws a curve in your plans. Unfortunately I'm a list person and like to know exactly what I'm doing before it happens. This job has helped me to realize that that is not always going to happen. God has a plan and sometimes His plan might not match with yours, but those changes are always for a reason. Usually you can't see that reason until you look back and think about your life. For example last week for me was a very rough week. I had some communication difficulties with one of my teams that left me upset and confused. I didn't understand why people working for God did not want to help a very deserving organization. Now that I look back I realize that God had different work that He need this group to do. They helped out all week at the camp that they were staying at and did a great job out there. They also helped paint almost a whole parking garage and mowed in the rain!!! God had a different plan for this group that suited them and took them out of a place where they felt uncomfortable. God works in ways that we may not always see, but we have to learn to rely on him because he has a plan for our lives and will lead us away from harm.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. John 4:16
