God had a plan that was suppose to work before man screwed it up.  Now he works our plans back into shape so his original plan can manifest itself.  Penny

A "plan" doesn't/can't work, until it's put to work. So, the answer is , "Yes."  Maryland Jim

   In answering your question, I have to reflect back on how I got to Omaha from Pennsylvania. I have been from Nova Scotia to the Florida Keys (Key West) but until I came to Omaha, had never been west of Pittsburgh. I look back at being drafted in the Army, meeting a friend who talked me into coming to college in West Virginia, meeting another friend there who went back to Omaha where he was from, after a semester. I remember being lost in life when I was home in Hershey over a Thanksgiving vacation, waiting several days before deciding to go back to college. I started out at 10am hitch hiking from home and ended up on route 40 in Maryland at 9pm that same day with the winter rain coming down. Feeling depressed, lost and feeling total despair, I turned to go back home. With tears streaming down my face, I looked up to the sky and said "God, please help me!" At that very moment, I heard a semi-truck screech their breaks behind me and upon turning around, and he had stopped about 60 yards away waiting for me. I ran and ended up getting back to school in West Virginia. Ended up in grad school at WVU, where I met my friend from Omaha and did my externship for my Masters in Pittsburgh. After coming in 2nd place from 3 different job interviews, became frustrated, called m friend from Omaha and told him I was coming there. I pulled up I front of his house on 39th street two houses from  the Joslyn Castle. I looked in my wallet and there was no money. Reached in my pocket and had two quarters to my name. I looked up in the star-studded sky on April 4, 1978 and said "Lord, here I am." 

  The result of this journey was I met my wife, got involved in a church, raised a Christ-filled child, and have a wonderful granddaughter and a blessed life. So, did God have a plan for me or did he work his plan for me? I feel he did both. A long-term plan to marry a Christian woman, raise a Christian child and make me a stronger Christian man, but also work his plan to turn my head around and run in the rain to get a ride from a truck driver that kept me continuing my Journey through life to where I am now.

“I AM THAT I AM is immutable. This includes His master plan as Supreme Sovereign Master. The Creator and the plan are immutable. It is we, His creation, that play at mutable capriciousness. Our inconsistent nature and activity does not alter His master plan one iota. As I He, His plan is. Ours is the option to submissively see our self, others, and the things of this world thru the lens of His Word and participate in His plan, or not.  C.L.
