Overshadowed

Today I got slapped in the face by the Lord. Not really. But as Tom and I sat in the doctor's office this morning, I was swiftly reminded that MY plans are not necessarily HIS plans. And even though I can't see the big picture, and I can make some pretty good plans....I know that His plans are better. I've also been reminded of something else as evidenced by this conversation with my mom yesterday:

Mom: Well even if you don't have the baby by Friday (the due date), Dad and I would still like to come down and take you and Tom out to eat.
Me: That's really nice, but why would you guys drive all the way here, only to have to drive back in a few days when the baby comes?
Mom: Because Friday is your birthday.

I forgot that it was my birthday on Friday.
