Have you ever found yourself wishing that your life was different? Maybe you had your whole life planned out the way you thought it should go only to find that the path was way different. I have, more times that I care to admit. I've learned that this way of thinking just feeds a seed of discontentment in me and I start measuring my life against others. A few weeks ago I was enjoying a warm October day walking the beach with my pup when I had a moment of realization that I may not have everything I want but I most definitely have everything I need. I am blessed with far more than I deserve, a loving family, amazing friends, a home, a car, jobs, a closet full of clothes, food, and we can't forget my sweet girl Lilo. But when I focus on what I do no have it dims the light on these blessings. Since that day, I have chosen to appreciate and embrace the place where I am. This world is a much brighter place when I do. After all, you never know when any particular season of your life is going to change.
The Lord provides for me Every.Single.Time. His timing is a little off from mine but I'm pretty sure God knows what He is doing. And I don't always understand the plan but I do know that it always ends up being way better than anything I could have written up. Even if I don't get those things that I pray for....God is still good.
