Even When Things Don't Go As Expected

Today has been a great day overall.  My family and I had waffles for supper and they were great.  I guess the question of the night is:  What happens when things don't turn out like I expect?  How should I respond?  There are many types of responses that I could have, but don't at the moment.  I don't have my job, but I am not discouraged.  I know that God has promised that He will either give me what I want or something better.  In this case it is something better.  There were several things that went differently than I thought that they would.  However, even though that was the case, they were always counterbalanced by good things.  For example, even when I didn't find another html book, I was reminded to be thankful for the one I already had.  As far as the job goes, I was reminded last night that God can do anything!  He is so awesome! Also, the kids went to bed on time.    You see, God is teaching me that not getting what I want is a good thing! :)  There is only one huge verse that comes to mind when I think about today and that is Psalms 37:4 which says:  
"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.*n2  6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."
