Some people believe that God has a plan for our lives; a specific, detailed, pre-determined plan that we somehow have to get in line with in order to fulfill our purpose in this lifetime.
Some people believe that creation is holding a thought long enough in your head until it materializes from nothing into something. That creation is believing really, really hard that something exists, even though it doesn't.
As for God having a plan for our lives - He has given us free will. That in and of itself puts a monkey wrench into the best laid plans. Our will vs. His will? Sure He should win, but while we're here on earth - not so much.
So does that mean that we're all going to hell because our free will has taken us off course from God's divine and holy plan for our lives?
No. Not even close.
Creation and 'God's plan' are one in the same for humanity. 'God's plan' for our lives is that we realize we are one with Him in creation and in fulfilling our lives destiny. Our destiny is to create.
All's we need to do is get in line with what we want to create and create it.
Create what? Well, everything you see for one. We've been quite busy creating. Sometimes we take the credit and at other times we place the blame - but we're all responsible for the state of affairs on this planet, good and bad. All of us.
We live on an incredibly hospitable planet in a universe that is ever expanding with parallel universes and things the mind cannot even imagine, let alone comprehend.
We've been blessed with life and every opportunity to create whatsoever we want.
A life of creation is an incredibly joyful gift, a monumentally important responsibility.
What will we create then? God has given us back the blueprints of our lives and said "Here, go create a destiny for yourself and for those that you love".
How will we create the spaces we live in, the relationships, the communities? How will we overcome what we've created in stresses and illnesses and dis-ease and depression?

Perhaps some of us have lost sight of the joy of life due to our free will.
But, we can always change our minds.
God's plan for us is to rise to the occasion. To be light in a dark world. To be love in a loveless society. To create a life that is in line with divinity, grace and love.
Things do not pop into and out of creation unless someone orchestrates them. If you envision an improvement on the ever popular wheel, you had best get out your chisel and hammer or else the improvement will just stay a thought in your head.
Now, go get back to creation.
