Waiting

It's okay to be upset sometimes. It's okay to cry and question why something is happening. As long as you don't live your life like that and make it a recurring thing. Sometimes hard things have to happen to show us how blessed we really are, and to show us that we shouldn't take anything for granted. Remember: it could be worse. Things will get better- God has got everything under control.

I have to remember when things may get tough, that it will all work out, and God will give me the strength and patience I need to get through it. If it's really supposed to happen it will. I will wait. I have to remember that God is preparing me and/or protecting me from something that I know nothing about. I just have to remember that- this is happening for my good- to teach me something. I can't see it now, and may not understand it for a while, but I know that God will not give me more than I can handle. And He will give me the strength to get through it.

I don't like not knowing what's going on, or what is going to happen. I have to remind myself that there is always more to things than meets the eye. There's probably more going on than I would understand... I try to be understanding; I think that's an important quality. But being understanding doesn't mean letting people walk all over me. I think it's important for people to remember that at a certain point, they have a choice to make. Right now, I'm waiting. But if God shows me that I need to do otherwise, then that's what I'll need to do. That is hard for me to process because I don't want things to go differently; they were going great.

I need to remember that it's not all about me. I'm not the problem most of the time, even if I think I am. So I shouldn't worry. And if things are getting tough in life, you shouldn't worry either.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah  29:11 <3
