Actually, I do not believe in fate or destiny. I believe that God created each of us for a specific purpose. It is up to us to remain open to His leading in our lives.
In Jeremiah 29:11, God declares that He has plans for us—specifically, good plans. He has a design for each of our futures and desires for us to live our best lives. Unfortunately, we often get in our own way. Many times, we think we know better or believe we can figure everything out on our own. If you are like me, you may find that you often have to learn this lesson the hard way.
