I was going to post yesterday but things happened and I didn't get to the computer, but I can tell you the blog would have gone a completely different direction if I had posted yesterday.
As I stood cooking breakfast this morning and reading my daily devotional, I had to stop and think....no Thank God for all the blessings he has given me. A lot of times we get caught up in asking what if, instead f looking at what we are blessed with. If we live life with nothing but what ifs we are going to miss the beauty God has laid right before us. No mater what we have been through in life, the good, the bad, the ugly and the funny...it is all a part of God's plan for us and when looking back you can see it was truly a stepping stone to where we are now. I am going to try to every time a what if comes to mind...stopping and thank God for something he has blessed me with. Why say what if because that if could have changed my entire story....
...You know the what if I had stayed with so and so - you might not have the kid you have now
....what if I had kept that job - you might not have the friends you have now
...what if I hadn't moved - you might not have the family time you do
...what if I won the lottery - you might not appreciate the small stuff anymore
Live life for today and stop thinking what if...God does all things in his perfect time and as hard as it is to be patient for the unanswered prayers keep the faith and keep praying.
