My Best is not "The" Best

Okay, let me get real with all of you for a moment. Let me just tell you something. Something big. Something I catch myself daydreaming about. Something that is wild. Let me tell you about my ultimate career.
So I am a columnist. I write editorials if you will. Opinions for those of you who don't understand the upper class Journalist lingo. Opinions on whatever I want. But that's not all. I travel the world. Writing about my experiences in other countries. Just travel. Oh hello Monday, let's fly to a village in Africa for a few weeks. Oh Cheerio London, let's do lunch. But that's not all. In these different countries I volunteer around the local communities. I get to hang out and help out. Just getting to be a part of the real place and being able to give back. And writing about all my experiences. And if I am lucky, maybe getting my own TV show doing all this because you guys know you would love to watch my TV show. But that is getting a little overboard. Even in my dream career.


I probably shouldn't have told you that because now since I have voiced the ultimate it is probably not going to happen. You know why? Because this is my plan. And let me tell you something about my plans. They don't work out. I start having these dreams, knowing exactly what is going to happen in my life, and they never work out that way. Seriously, just ask me what I dreamed my freshman year of college was going to be like and let me compare it to what it is actually like. Seriously, let's get coffee. I will tell you about my "ultimate" best freshman year I imagined for myself, and let me tell you about how this year was nothing what I imagined it would be. It was so much better.

You want to hear something bigger? Something I don't catch myself daydreaming about. Something that is as wild as it could be? Let me tell you that God has a plan for me. For you. A plan so amazing, that I can't even imagine how amazing it is going to be.
Habakkuk 1:5 says "Look at the nations and watch- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."

So, He is telling me that what he has planned for me is better than anything I could imagine myself? That I wouldn't believe even if He told me? He has something cooler than my ultimate career I planned out for myself planned out for me?

I'm excited.
