Not A Comedy of Errors

BINTAN ISLAND, Indonesia ----- I came across a Lifestyle column. An author made a candid narration of the deviations of her master plans. This is an adaptation: 

I never forecasted I would be into business, but would have wished the lesser risk of corporate life. 

I never dreamed I would be a teacher, a trainer, a leader, a speaker, a writer, or a consultant. If given a choice, I prefer to contain my thoughts and insights.

I never envisioned singleness, neither forecasted celibacy. I anticipated for romance, family,  and children; but have not willed not having one.

I dream of migrating to a more civilized and economically stable society. But my hands are tied tending the demands of business.

I never programmed myself to be feisty, unwavering and free-spirited. Neither wanted to be stubborn and straightforward. 

By no means have I planned for pain and heartbreak. Yet, I have not envisioned that strength, wisdom and peace go with it.

Simply put, it is utterly amazing how God grants the most unexpected blessings of things I never longed for, yet deprives my innermost desires. He must have known that I am where He wants me to be; not to a life of errors, unlucky chances and poor choices. Nothing happens by chance. Things happen for a reason.
