Have you ever made plans only to have them changed into something better than you could have imagined in your wildest dreams? Sometimes God leads us into divine appointments so we can have opportunities to share His message. Other times, He leads us into situations where people can minister to us.
Making Plans
A day after my daughter turned five, she asked to go to Elmo’s World, known to the rest of us as Sesame Place, for her sixth birthday. In case you haven’t picked up on it by now, my daughter got her planning gene from me. The truth is, we both can plan for things years in advance. Throughout the course of the year, she reminded me that for her sixth birthday she wanted a trip to Elmo’s World. So, when we were a few months out, I started planning the logistics. I bought tickets for a set date and then began figuring out how to get there as I don’t like long drives. A few weeks before my daughter’s big day, I noticed online that tickets were now cheaper than what I’d pay for them. There was also another reason I needed to change them. I called the box office, even though I knew I’d purchased non-refundable tickets. I laughed and talked with the young woman who’d answered, and despite the non-refundable clause on my tickets, she gave me the better price.
