A friend told me not to see the movie but I rented it anyway. For those painstaking two hours I would contemplate why I did not heed her advice. Not all was lost. I was able to remember something great about my back-up plans.
The Back-up Plan stars J-Lo (another reason I should have kept browsing in the video store) as a successful 30-something woman who has not found success in the love department but desperately wants to have children of her own. She decides to "take matters into her own hands" and hires a doctor to inseminate her with her choice donor's goods. This, of course, is her back-up plan to the one she originally designed; the one with dreams of falling in love, getting married, and having kids. Wouldn't you know she falls in love the day after her pee makes a plus sign. What to do when your back-up plan gets in the way of your original plan. Da da da...
So about my back-up plan. After watching the movie I realized that luckily for me I have no back-up plan. Why would anyone need a back-up plan when the original one is perfect? Take matters into my own hands? Scary! Do I know all of the details of the plan. Nope. I don't need to. The engineer who designed said plan is a good friend of mine. He knows me better than I know myself so he'll be sure to include those beautiful touches only an Abba knows how to. Each day is another chance to unveil another part of the masterpiece. How exciting!
But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
