Sometimes, plans change

Have your plans ever suddenly just changed?
Sometimes you have these moments in life where plans change, and you can't plan for it. Did you get that?

Example:
Band practice was from 5-7.

After practice CJ was supposed to go to voice lessons. His voice lessons were at 7:45. It takes him 30 minutes to get from one practice to the other.

After practice I was supposed to meet some friends back at my apt to eat, watch a movie, and the basketball game. I hadn't had any dinner yet and knew I would be starving by 7:00.

We got done with practice about 30 minutes early.
My thoughts were of all the leftovers in my fridge.
Now CJ can get to his other practice early and not have to worry about rushing there.

For some reason, as we were cleaning up, I didn't really feel or even think about food anymore.  
For some reason, CJ got a call from his voice coach saying that he couldn't do lessons, something had come up.

So then, after we cleaned up, as we were sitting there, we just started talking... About everything.
It was an amazing conversation.
The kind of conversation that stays with you.
The kind of conversation that can break you and build you up all in the same moment.
It was a God conversation.
He planned it, He orchestrated it.

I know it was God.
He knew we needed to be there in that exact moment talking to each other.
Not at voice lessons.
Not eating or watching a basketball game.

How can that not be God?

What would have happened if CJ would have just left anyway and went back home? Or if I would have just said, "okay man see you later, good practice today"?

What would have happened if we just went and grabbed some food real quick, or played xbox, or the wii, or ping pong?

I think God is constantly giving us moments like this.
We needed to ask each other those exact questions.
We needed to share with each other those exact words.

Paul talked about this when he said, "carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2).

Carry each other's burdens. Be there for each other and help build each other up.
