Creating The Plan
from Life with Elizabeth · host Elizabeth
My first year out of high school I thought I was so smart, no one could tell me anything. I was officially a woman. All these years I waited to make decisions on my body, to be able to go to the club and now the time was finally here. I went out with my friends from my neighbourhood so that I could be with my boyfriend. No one approved of him, he was the neighbourhood gangster and I was the little church girl. Shortly after our entanglement, I found out I was pregnant. The feeling was mixed, I was happy but I was scared. What would my parents say? How would my dad feel? His daughter recently graduated, I was supposed to go off to college and now pregnant. Over a few months, my mom noticed the changes. I was hormonal, sick and preferred specific food. This was not in the plan. We discussed the pregnancy with my parents who were both very furious. They could not believe how I would ruin my life for someone who didn't make plans for their future. That sentence hits so differently when you are grown and mature mentally and emotionally. At that time I could not understand why they would say such a thing about such a nice young man. That relationship in the end brought me so much heartache; I first lost the baby, then I found out about his multiple girlfriends and realized how much of a liar he was. This was not in God's plan at all for me to go through this. His plans are for good not of disaster. "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts, " says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you can imagine." Isaiah 55:8 NLT Hello besties Welcome to my Podcast my name is Mekelle here we talk about Faith, Love, Relationships and everything in-between.
