Brandon and I are planners too, and a year ago, we thought we had everything figured out-- we thought Brandon was getting a certain job, we were going to stop traveling, we were putting our house on the market and were excited about starting a family. Then right around Thanksgiving we got an email telling us that Brandon wasn't getting the job after all. We were crushed, and spent the next 6 months "wandering in the desert" as we have joked, having no idea what God's plan was. But SO much good has come out of it. Had things worked out the way we planned, we would have missed out on so much... including God's plans for us to adopt. :) God's plan for us was WAY bigger than anything we had planned. <br /><br />I'm excited to see what God has in store for you. :) Love and prayers.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993750344777196845noreply@blogger.com
