God's Plans Are Always Better...

Tonight was awesome. I had absolutely no plans on going bowling with everyone tonight, but God had a different idea.

There were a few reasons why I didn't want to go bowling tonight. A few days ago, I was sitting in the car telling God I didn't want to go, but if He wanted me to go, then I'll go.

So all day I had no plans on going. Then an hour before bowling, I got a facebook IM from someone, convincing me to go; I really had no good reason not to go.
All the reasons I had not to go were all basically shot down.

I have this whole theme of "fear" going on with me now, so I find it funny that a song from my favorite band came on; it was about not being afraid. : )
I had a great night, and I had plenty reminders of who God is. A lot of my prayers were answered tonight, and by the end of the night, I had no fear anymore.

So why does God do these things? Did He have me go simply just because He wanted me to listen to that song? Did He have me go just to make me smile and laugh? Did He have me go because there was a conversation with someone He wanted me to have? Did He have me go to use me for someone else somehow?
I doubt I'll ever know why He wanted me to go to this party... but I KNOW it was because of GOD that I ended up going.

He completely reminded me of what an amazing God He truly is tonight... maybe that's why He wanted me to go. : )

Well, I'm incredibly sleepy, and I have horrible "growing" pains.
Good night.
