Start Date + Wonkey Bagels

Soooooo...

Last Friday I had a friend visiting and in preparation went to purchase extra supplies. In most house holds bread and milk are staple foods, however being wheat-and-dairy-intolerant I rarely have reason to buy them.

Its funny how the smallest things create stress and ironically, catering for a friend with a non-restricted diet was one of them. 

Pressure is an excellent motivator though and so half an hour before my friend arrived I cycled to the shops and before I could be overwhelmed by the baked goods aisle purchased some cinnamon and raisin bagels.


While cutting them for breakfast I successfully manage to divide them into total unequal halves. Because of this only one of the rounds would fit into the toaster and the other I had to grill and this would take longer.


Slightly annoyed I then realised that this actually wasn't the worst plan in the world as by the time the toasted bagel was eaten the second would be ready and neither would be consumed cold. Win!


My friend then commented that this was actually a pretty good illustration of God's plans and ours.


It wasn't my intention to cut the bagels like that and at first it seemed like an inconvenience but it actually worked out for the best. 

I'll so often look at something God's asked me to do and think that its gone wrong or doesn't look how I expected it to but actually, in the end, it plays out better than my original plan.
