B.J. Murrey - World Orphans, Central America

Sam Sneau  (via Facebook) posits: "Since the vast majority of us are living our Plan B (if not C or D), that begs the question: What was/is your Plan A?"

My response to this very thoughtful question is this:

My hunch is that "Plan A" is almost always the self-reliant, self-motivated, selfish and self-sufficient plan, while plans "B", "C", and following, all include more and more true humility and community.

My prayer for today is that more and more in my life, my plans "B", "C" and following might become my plan "A" and that plan "A" might always be a quiet reliance on the Spirit of God for His power and wisdom and a patience with others who are working under the same influence. I believe the Bible refers to this as "sanctification".
