Things don't go according to plan. That's how it works! But guess what? It's that way for a reason. God can see the eternal picture, he knows what is best for you. We can only see what's right in front of our face and the past. We can wish and think about the future, but there is no way to exactly know what is going to happen.
Because we can't see the whole story we often make choices that are stupid or we expect things to happen and when they don't, it sucks! The thing you need to realize is that EVERYTHING that happens in your life is for a reason. EVERYTHING you struggle through, was given to you for a reason. It was given to you to make you a better person. You will be changed for the better!
Did I expect my daddy to pass away when i was only 13 years old? Heck no!! I planned on him coming to my graduation, dancing with me at my wedding, and holding my children. That was my plan. It's not fair that I have friends that still have their dads, when I won't be able to see mine again for 70 years or more! They have something that I wish I could have back more than anything. It's not fair.
But, I realize that this is all for the experience He is showing me that I am strong enough to handle it. The cool thing about God is that he knows that you are strong enough. He won't give you anything that you can't handle! He will not let you fail, he will not destroy your life. It may seem like it's falling to pieces, but it's not. Things always get better because, they can't get any worse... unless you make bad choices.
Ya know what's cool? I get to have my daddy with me at all times. His spirit is with me, I know it. I can feel it! He's there when i'm laughing, or sad, or scared. He is always there along with other loved ones I have lost. I have my own angel watching over me. I'm so lucky!!
It's really hard for me to accept that he is really gone sometimes. But, that's normal... I think. I guess it has to do with the 5 stages of grief. When something hard happens, everyone goes through this.
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
Maybe I just haven't learned to fully accepted it yet!
Anyways... It's ok that life isn't fair. Things always turn for the better for you. Everything that happens to you is made to make yous stronger and help you live better. Although, it may not seem like it, it's the truth.
If you dedicate your life to serving the Lord and follow him no matte what happens,
he will make everything work out for you.
It really is. It's amazing how far I have come since my dad's death.
The struggle has been awful
but, my testimony
has grown.
Everything he does is for YOUR good.
He is not a selfish God.
When you pray to God, he answers every single one of your prayers. Sometimes he answers it right away, other times he waits until the right time. There are three answers that God will give you in your prayers.
1. Yes
2. Not now
3. I have something better in mind
Ponder on that the next time you feel like he's not answering or when you don't get the answer you want.
Peace out everyone!
Smile
Live while you're young
Choose the right
