yeah it's actually happening, i'm blogging on back to back days and i'm blogging while at work again. oh well what's the worst that could happen? i get fired..ha yeah right these people love me. and while i'm at it i've got justin bieber playing in my ears. what a wonderful spring day. and now on to the real point of my blog today which is the "what if" game.
many times in my life i have caught myself thinking or saying to myself, what if _____ would have happened? or what if _____ wouldn't have happened? i've eventually come to a point where i'm not asking myself that anymore because whatever happens happens and really most of time you can't control it. back in the day i would sit and ponder what if i was 6 foot 3 and weighed 210 pounds and was a stud athlete. now i say thank you Lord for making me the little 5 foot 9 150 pounder that i am. i wouldn't have it any other way.
instead of asking those difficult "what if" questions, i have rephrased my way of thinking in a way that says this happened because .... it is very relieving because i'm not constantly beating myself up over what i think should happened or think will happen.
as the old cliche goes, everything happens for a reason, and you know it is the absolute truth. during my short time that i have been here on earth i am a firm believer of this. it's so comical to me when people think that everything should be in this certain type of order and things should go as the world wants them to go.
i've recently been concentrating on following the road that the Lord wants me on and this "what if" scenerio/question is the furthest thing from my mind. i know and am comforted by the fact that whatever happens is for the best interest of me.
Jeremiah 29:11 says: 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. Pretty comforting huh!
