Plans

Well I was reading through this book that has a bunch of letters from my dad to my mom last night and I came across a song that my dad wrote called Plans. I thought the lyrics were very fitting for my life right now, so I thought I'd share it =)

Plans 
By: Jeff Rankin

Lord I'm here
Lord be near and hear me.
Search my heart.
See my willingness to live for You.


Lord I see a long road ahead of me
And I want to walk it with You
Let not my plans get ahead of You
Slow me down and keep my course true


Lord I look back and see
All the years I've known You but You
couldn't shine through me.
My plans block the way.
I wonder how many more souls might be saved today.


Lord I see a long road ahead of me
And I want to walk it with You
Let not my plans get ahead of You
Slow me down and keep my course true


Lord I see how I must grow in You
I see a reason for me to live in You
Open up Your word to me
Open my eyes that I might see.


Lord I see a long road ahead of me
And I want to walk it with You
Let not my plans get ahead of You
Slow me down and keep my course true


Lord I see a long road ahead of me
I'm planning on walking it with You
Letting not my plans get ahead of You
Slowin' down and keepin' my course true
with You


I was so glad when I found this book last night =) I love seeing the romantic side of my dad and also how he completely trusted in God for whatever would happen next in his life. He was always praising God and giving Him all the glory in his letters. He's definitely a role model for me, now especially, and I want a relationship like him and my mom had: with God in the center of it. I also went across these verses yesterday:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take."~Proverbs 3:5-6
