I find life to be life like the fairgrounds.

It can be entertaining, fun, and full of wondrous sites, sounds, tastes and smells.

But sometimes I find it simultaneously, loud, crowded, confusing, overwhelming.

It is full of temptations, traps, and distractions.

Everything is vying for your attention. 

Life, like a fairground, is beautiful, confusing, and complicated. 

You have limited time and resources that you want to make the most of. 

It is hard to make a plan. 

Much of my life I have felt disillusioned and lost. 

I fret and worry over figuring out what God’s plan is for my life.

Where should I go to school, what career should I choose, who should I marry, 

what should I do with my life?

I never seem to find an abundantly clear answer to these questions?

I’ve listened to friends, family, media, my own inner voice, they all give different answers… 

What is God’s plan for me? Sometimes I feel lost. 

But then I remember, God’s plan for me is greater than

The University I attend,

The career I choose,

The person I marry,

God’s plan is greater than the choices I make.

God’s plan for my life is Christ. It always has been.

It is that simple. 

I am free to explore and make mistakes in the giant fairground of life because 

Christ has rescued me from sin and death. 

God’s plan for me was finished on the Cross and in Christ’s resurrection I have new life. 

No matter what big or little life choices I make, Christ is there. 

No matter what job I do, or city I move to, Christ will be there and there will be fellow human beings who need his love.

God’s plan for my life is Christ and that is some good news.
