From my cousin Hana So my journey in the western region of Africa continues.

I traveled from Dakar to Accra yesterday to meet the @onemilliongirls team in Ghana for the first time. Excited wasn’t even the word. I would travel to Accra then take a domestic flight to Tamale/

(northern Ghana) to meet with the team. Well, my masterplan went out the window when I missed my flight due to the length of time it took to get the results from the mandatory COVID test you must take when you arrive in Ghana.

So there’s that.

But here’s the thing. I was really troubled when I found out that after all the hussle and bustle, I didn’t get on that flight to Tamale. But this experience is a reminder that, although I had a master plan, I’m not the Master of my plans.

God wants the best for us-in any and all situations-and He orchestrates the plans for our lives according to HIS will and HIS master plan.

As I stood in the middle of the airport sweating and wondering why I’d come this far to not get to where I planned to be,

, I was quickly reminded by the Master planner that “His ways are not our ways; His thoughts are not our thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)

We may feel like a certain direction is the best way, but God has the best plan for our lives. He legit wants the best for us -

a fact hard to believe when things are not going your way, but a beautiful reminder that we can let go and let the all-knowing One take the wheel.

Happy Monday 🙏🏾
