• Bait & Switch

  I moved back to New Jersey thinking that I would pursue another degree and change my career. I had it all planned out: move home, save money by not paying rent, apply for schools, study my butt off, move out as soon as I'm done.

  Now, instead I find myself postponing school, getting more involved in church, building great relationships with fellow church members, and seeking healing and counseling for issues I wasn't even aware of one year ago.

  I kind of feel like God pulled a "bait & switch" on me!  I thought the only reason to return to New Jersey was to pursue school, but now I see that it was to be a part of this community, meet these people, and pursue God's plan to restore and heal me.  School may not even be in the picture anymore!  But I'm happy and at peace with how things are going now.

  When was the last time God did a switcheroo on your plans?  Were you happier in the long run?
