I'm not going to lie, this post is going to sound a little odd. Just preare yourself now.
Yesterday(Saturday, the official 5th Day of Gratitude), I decided to be grateful that I'm not in charge. I'm grateful that I don't always have control over what happens in life. I'm grateful for the unknown. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and does what is necessary to help me find what I need.
I can say with a great deal of confidence that if everything went the way I had planned, my life would pretty much be a disaster. Some of you might think, "Wait, it's not a disaster"? No. Not even a little. Sure, when I'm in the middle of trying to get things straightened out and take care of all the little details, it does feel awfully crazy. BUT, when I step back and look at my life, right this minute, it's actually really, really great.
I have everything I could possibly think of needing and somethings I would never have thought of needing, but desperately do. I am honestly so grateful for a Heaven Father who blesses me endlessly and takes care of all the little details and throws in a few surprises too. My life is infintely easier when I just place my faith and trust in Him and let Him take care of things. When I try to get in the way and steer the boat the way I want to, well, things get awfully rocky.
So on the 5th day of gratitude (and every day, really) I am eternally grateful for those things I didn't see coming.
You're amazing...you know that, right? Because you are.
