Blueprint

Before building a house, several processes need to be undertaken. One paramount task is drawing up
blueprints and plans.

When we were building a few years ago, mum would inspect the construction site. Let’s just say she
often managed to find things she didn’t like and the workers had to “make adjustments” to a wall, or
a window placement. Eventually, the workers would say: “Bonjour Madame! What do we demolish
today?”

In construction, things never go according to plan.

What about our life?

Hva er planen? Is there a Plan B?

We mess up. That’s life. I know I’ve made mistakes and bad choices in my life – and chances are I’ll make
more... I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if I’d done this, or hadn’t done that. I’ve
realized that those thoughts will eventually stop me from living a full life, learning from the past, asking
for and accepting God’s forgiveness and leaving things in His hands.

We can’t live life on “what-ifs”.

Each day offers new opportunities. Although we cannot change the past, God has the love, grace and
power to use the past to make us stronger, carve our character and turn situations around.

Every morning God has the ability to draw up a new blueprint for our lives.

We need to trust the Great Architect’s vision.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Don’t dwell on yesterday.

There’s always today.
