the other day this random and weird thought came into my mind. I started thinking about how God might work in terms of His plan for our lives. Does HE control everything, micro-manage the universe. like if you don't get into a certain college or you break your leg, is that God's will?is that part of His plan for you somehow? I don't think we can or should try to figure out "God's will." I like to wait until He reveals it to me if He so chooses and I am very wary of calling something "God's Will." and then I started thinking that maybe God works like a GPS. on a GPS(the one on my blackberry anyway)you put in your destination, and then it shows you the best route to get there. if you make a wrong turn or miss a turn or something, the GPS recalculates the route from where you now are, and shows you how to get to your destination with your run or missed turn or whatever as part of the new route. what if God works like that? We have free will, He gave that to us, just like we are free to choose or not the route that GPS shows us. God has a destination and a route for us, but because of that free will, we miss turns, we try and find shortcuts, we purposely don't go one way, we go another way, we get lost or confused. but God works with that, He works with and through our mistakes and wrong turns. we might not follow His original route for us, but when we make that wrong turn or miss that exit,etc He doesn't just shut down on us. He recalculates a new route to get us to us to His destination.
I know this sounds weird and kinda crazy, but if you are reading this, let me know your thoughts on this.
