Gods design for my life?

There is so much written about God and his will for my life. 

The bible is clear that God has a plan and a purpose for the universe; the world. He is working our his plan through individual people's lives called into his church. All will be brought under the headship of Jesus Christ because all things are made for him and by him. I love this. ALL things.... the tiniest bug ; the most delicate flower; the small little leaf; the tiny, insignificant life... ALL are made by him and for him. He loves his creation. he spends time investing in it and he has died for it. The amazing thing about Gods design for our lives, if we know him and love him , is that he has a plan for us and he will purpose his plan until it comes to fruition.
 This blows my mind!!

Beth Moore has a great study on the Fruit of the Spirit and in the week on gentleness she pens this idea.... Gentleness describes a complete surrender to Gods purpose for my life. His will.  So we are to stop fighting God and submit. The idea of gentleness in the bible is the opposite of weakness. It is power and strength that comes from submitting to Gods will.

I find this incredibly encouraging. God is working out his plan in my life and If I submit to it, he will develop in me a strength and power that comes from laying down my plans for his. This is gentleness.

This got me thinking about the forward submitting to Gods unseen plans. Are these something I can and will submit too?

What about the backward plans. The pathway I have already walked upon. The weary, broken adventure called life that lies behind. Is Jesus Lord over that too?

These are questions that I feel need an answer from myself. Ones I wrestle with, if I am honest. It would seem that some of the past things need not to have been and yet God has perfectly set them and I choose to trust him.
