Gods Plans are so much bigger than my own

Have you ever wondered why God brought some people into your life? Its a question I ve been  asking myself for a while now... and the minute you think you finally have it figured out God reveals something totally different to you... I am firm a believer that God puts people in our lives for many different reasons that sometimes we will never know. I ve caught myself asking God many times why he has brought or taken away someone  in/out of my life! You can never ask God why... his plans are so much bigger than our own you just have to trust he knows what he is doing up there... what God has told me though is that you have to love them unconditionally the whole time they are in your life.... Let them know you by your heart! I am someone that does everything with my heart.... i dont meet a stranger and i want to help and give to anyone possible! They are my very strong qualities but weaknesses at times also... I ve often wondered why i am the way I am i believe God allowed me in inherit traits and qualities of both of my grandmothers... My Nanny has one of the softest hearts of anyone i ve have ever known ... she loves nothing more than to sit down and talk to you about your feelings, wants, likes, dislikes....She is just a big ball of TLC!! and you see my MawMaw was one heck of a lady too ... although she is no longer with me i look back on her life and realize how strong she was in her faith... and how strong she was with life in general. I see so much of them in me more and more everyday!
Something we have to realize is that the minute we meet someone new ... they have just entered your life.. their status in your life is what is the difference.. whether they stay as an aquitance, friend, best friend, girl/boy friend, soon to be husband or wife.. or eventually your spouse one day. regardless we have all had many of these... even ones that we thought we could spend the rest of our lives with but that just wasnt Gods plan... and you see at first the pain is unbearable almost until God steps in a little bit more everyday to tell you " I have someone much better"! We have to realize that God knows what we want... he knows what we are looking for and as long as we follow him and glorify him  and most importanly LISTEN to him.. he will bless us with giving us that special someone that is all we have ever wanted and more..... as one of my good guy friends just got married not to long ago i asked him " Hows the newly wed life?".. he said "Melissa, better than i ever thought it would be... I ve been praying for my future wife for a really long time and when he brought me her he brought everything i ever wanted and more... so much more" I just giggled... I know that God has that plan for me and everyone else out there too! Heartaches hurt but you have to remember thats Gods time to really do some work in your life and maybe you will see that he is showing you what you really need... Bless the people that walk out of your life because they are only making room for the people that are coming into your life" .... If there is anything i have learned its that you dont want to waste your time on someone that God is telling you to let go of... because its only causing you more heartache...God knows he has all of our puzzle pieces and we only get one at a time.. just trust him! Your relationships should also glorify God .. dont let anyone bring you further away from him... look at it like this intergers--> (+) (-) positive person and negative person..... if  you have a Positive person + and negative person = negative relationship or negative + negative = positve relationship  OR positve+positve = positive relationship..... you choose.. but never allow anyone to alter who you are or bring you further away from God... you want someone that will bring you closer to him.. someone that will not stand in front of or behind you but BESIDE YOU.. someone that you get to know but more importantly WANT TO KNOW... be with someone that will know you for your love, and vise versa... be with someone that you want to show your heart to and they show you theirs also!!! Embrace the fact that God has someone out there for YOU.. and he knows what he is doing..and more than anything that God loves you... he knows who is suppose to come and go.. who is suppose to teach you things whether it be your wants or dislikes... who is suppose to make you stronger by your hurts or trials faced with them... He is only preparing you for "The One" and when he brings you that person... let them know you by your love!
