Got Blanks? Let God Fill Them!
A friend, rightfully, bragged about her notoriously planned 2025 calendar. ith three kids, sports practices, music lessons, and her own juggling act as a wife, businesswoman, and mom, she knows she needs to get an upper hand on life by mapping out her family’s year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, I\u2019m here celebrating that I have all my contacts listed in my iPhone with some important dates and events already in place. That\u2019s at least some progress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let\u2019s be honest \u2013 sometimes surprises toss us a curveball and we must fill in a plethora of blanks at the doctor\u2019s office. Case in point. A couple of weeks ago, I woke in the night with a significant eye issue. It felt like a rough-edge foreign object in it and as much as I tried to get it out, it wouldn\u2019t budge. My eye was as red as a beet and the pain was extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First thing, the next morning, we scheduled an emergency eye appointment. I could barely see out of that hurting eye to fill in all the blanks on those multiple pages of medical forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After examination and my eye being temporarily deadened (oh, hallelujah!), the issue was abrasions on my cornea which required medicinal help for the next several days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s something deeper at work with other blanks of our lives and scratches on our eyes. Those blanks aren\u2019t a mistake. They\u2019re invitations. God, in His infinite wisdom, leaves room for His answers, His timing, and His plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God uses our blanks to show us He\u2019s the WAY when we\u2019re lost, the TRUTH when we\u2019re confused, and the LIFE when we\u2019re weary. He\u2019s not a God of chaos; He\u2019s the God of surprise plot twists, providential detours, and heartwarming “God-winks.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, the next time those blanks stare you down — whether it\u2019s a crisis looming over you, a missed opportunity, or just the daily unknown — don\u2019t panic. Instead, let God write the best story EVER for your life. Trust Him to fill the spaces with His perfect plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.\u201d (Proverbs 3:5-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our blanks? They\u2019re just waiting for God\u2019s pen that\u2019s filled with everlasting ink that never fades and helps us to live with great hope and expectancy for each new day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
