Plan B

I stumbled upon a blog about a month ago and now I check it daily for updates. Her name is Angie Smith and her husband is in the musical group Selah. I have truly been touched by her posts and I would really encourage you to check it out. (http://www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com/) Their story is sad. A few months ago they found out they were expecting their 4th little girl but 20 weeks into the pregnancy found out that their little girl had a variety of things wrong with her and if she didn't die in the womb, would die shortly after she was born. She was born in April and lived about 2 and a half hours. They are ordinary people who serve and trust in God but had this awful tragedy occur. Now they are using their story of Audrey Caroline to spread the word about Christ and his plan for you and me. I watched a video on Youtube that a church compiled about their story called "Plan B." In it, the Smith's told their story and how they envisioned their family but how God had another plan. It was THEIR Plan B but their testimony is that this was NEVER God's Plan B. He knows exactly where you are and where you are going. He knows your thoughts, actions, and deeds. He knows how many hairs are on your head and how many breaths you have left on this Earth. He ordained Audrey's life and this situation for the Smith's and it is now a testimony for God's will and our choice to trust Him. Do I trust him like I should? Do I trust in his perfect will and plan that he has for my life or do I daily take into my own hands?? I am trying to work on this one.

I am encouraged by Philippians 3:7-11
"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbis, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead."
