If you had the life you wanted.....
I heard a quote today that I loved:"If the life you wanted to have were a book, it wouldn't be worth reading!"
Yep -- you'd put it down after 3 pages because it would be BORING! A good story requires some excitement, a cliff hanger! You want to read it thinking, "This isn't gonna turn out well at all!" and in the end it does and it makes you glad you read it!
Life's the same way. We all have cliff hangers we'd rather not have. We all face situations we would never choose for ourselves -- situations where we think to ourselves, "This isn't gonna turn out well! At all!"
But we make it through another day and by grace from above things turn out. Maybe they don't turn out "okay" but they turn out the way they should in the end. Can I get an amen?!
Maybe you lost a job. I did. Maybe you are losing your marriage. I nearly did. Maybe your kids are off on a path they should not be on. Maybe you are fighting a disease. Maybe you are facing serious financial concerns. Maybe you need to lose weight and save your health. Maybe you've just taken one more look at a house that desperately needs cleaning and thought, "Arrrrrggghhh! I just can't take it!"
All things we'd never choose -- but in the end they make our story one worth reading.
Speaking of stories worth reading: take a moment to read my friend Heather's blog today. www.aztlgrl.blogspot.com You are guaranteed to laugh and cry -- and maybe be reminded of how we are all stronger than we know when the going gets rough.
