Have you ever wanted something or someone so badly and it just never seems to work out the way you had planned? I am always too eager to give others a second chance after they have done me wrong continually. While giving up in many cases, is not the answer, sometimes listening to your heart will bring on frustration, pain and a waste of time. Learning to accept reality and let go, allows you to think more clearly and make logical decisions.
I am a very persistent person. Once I have a goal in mind, whether it involves friendships, family, romantic relationships, career or education, I stick with it and I continue trying until I get the results I want. However, I understand that what we want is not always right for us. God sometimes has a different plan for us; and our stumbling blocks are just a way to prepare a path in a different direction for something much better than we ever expected. So, although I might be feeling a little down about a few circumstances in my life, I’m looking at the bigger picture and what lies ahead----a huge blessing is coming my way. Soon, the pain I feel over foolish actions of people who don’t deserve me in their lives, will be a distant memory and won’t matter in the new life that I’m preparing for.
Stay Strong, Stay Happy! (…and most of all….DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF).
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
