uncontrolable

What is the deal?
I live out , way out, in the country. No one just "drops by" and even those who have been here on purpose, cant remember how they got here so they have to call before coming for directions...again.
So, how is it that everyone in the world ( a slight exaggeration) seems to know when I am home alone and about to take a bath or shower?
It never fails. steve will be gone, I will decide to get in the shower, and just as I have lathered up my hair, all 7 of my dogs go nuts barking as if the boogie man has appeared in the yard.
9 times out of ten I will quickly rinse off and dress only to find it was nothing at all. Maybe a truck going down the road or a squirrel in a tree.
Occationally it will be the ups man, the mail man with a box too big for the mailbox or a hunter driving up my neighbors property. ( I use the word "neighbor lightly since the closest house to me is a mile down the road. )
Oh well.....
it is a reminder that its not all about me, and life doesnt always turn out as we plan.
The good news is though, God is in control, and His plans are better than ours.
There have been times this has happened and though Im upset about having to cut my shower short, there is a pleasant surprise package waiting for me. Or purhaps I think its nothing, only to find later that a sray dog or cat has wondered on the property in need of attention.
And then some times I never see the reason for the disruption to MY plans.

But God has made everything appropriate in its time.

Jer. 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for your welfare not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. and you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

The disruptions in our lives can be looked at as an opportunity....a time to step back and take a closer look, at ourselves, and sometimes beyond ourselves. God has a plan for all our lives, it might just be a bigger plan than you think.
