My plans < His plans

I’m 21 and I still don’t know where I’ll be a few years from now. I know people at my age who already have plans for their futures; people who are almost there; and people who have already achieved some of them. Looking at them, I feel envious. Sometimes I feel like I’m weak, like I’m a loser; like I’m too slow. Why? Coz I’m still here. Not to mention that I work in the office and sit there for 8 hours, 6 times a week. While others are out there, travelling, making #goals on social media. And yes, I do have random plans too but I’m so unsure—unsure if I’d be able to achieve them, unsure of what my life will be like in the future, where I will be, and who I will end up with. But I realized that life is neither a competition nor a marathon to see who will reach the finish line first, and who will not. Rather, one thing is for sure: there is Someone up there who has plans for me—greater plans, I must say—Someone who has known me even before I was born; Someone who knows the very desires of my heart and its depth. Someone who holds my future. 

I may have plans for myself but His shall always prevail (Proverbs 19:21). So I put all my trust in Him. I may not be sure where this life’s gonna take me, but I am very sure that He’ll take me where He has planned for me to be.
