Thankfulness for Following my New Destiny – Wherever it Leads Me
There comes a time in my life when I realize that if I stand still, I will remain at this point forever. I realize that if I fall and stay down, life will pass by me. Life’s circumstances are not always what I might wish them to be.
The pattern of my life does not necessarily go as I plan it. Beyond any understanding I may at times be led in different directions that I never imagined, dreamed or designed. Yet, if I had never put any effort into choosing a path, or tried to carry out my dream, than perhaps I would have no direction at all.
Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction my life has taken, I choose to accept the fact that there is a path before me now. Shake off the "why’s" and "what if’s." “Was” is in the past. “Whatever is” is what is important. The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here. I will walk my path one step at a time – with courage, faith and determination. I will keep my head up, and cast all my dreams up to my Lord.
And soon my steps will become firm. A path that I never imagined will be the most comfortable direction I could have ever hoped to follow. I’ll keep my belief in God and walk into my new journey. I will find it magnificent, spectacular, and beyond my wildest imaginings.
And for that I am full of Gratefulness to my Lord and Father God.

Amen, sister! God has taught me again and again to not complain when things don't go as I planned. The path God chooses for me is ALWAYS better!
