Proverbs 16:9
The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
But the Lord directs his steps.
This verse came to mind this morning as I was going back through the childcare expenses for 2013. I am at a place where I can look back through the story of what happened and not be despondent about life, so that is something to be thankful for.
The summer began with plans all set. I had purchased additional childcare in the weeks before you died to account for your arrival on Monday instead of Sunday. I ended up getting a refund for what I had paid for Monday's childcare, and then I also had to rearrange childcare for the summer since those plans had changed. Oddly enough, I enjoy doing our taxes each year, especially in years when we have been owed a refund and not had to pay taxes.
We can make so many plans and they can be changed forever in seconds. I never was one to count on anything until I could see or feel it, but this whole journey still took my by surprise. It has shaped me and changed me.
