taking the turn on two wheels is better than taking it on none.

Is it possible to be underamazed? To look at all God has done for us and shrug our shoulders?..to dwell on the problems in our lives vs. the blessings or the potentially worse problems in others lives? I think so. I know so. I've done it.

Recently, I've had a lot of changes in my life. Changes I never saw coming, and in all reality may not have been completely ready for. But God knew what was going on and He had/has a plan for me. That's what I have to cling to. Instead of dwelling on the heartbreak of loss, I have to cling to what great new things God will place in that position. Instead of wondering how transitions occur so quickly, I just have to jump right into God's blessing, strap on my seatbelt and see it as a thrill ride as opposed to a bunch of ups and downs. Mindset is so much. Perspective is so much. God...is so much. In fact, God reminds us through Isaiah 55:8-13. I recommend you read this, but to sum up, God says His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts, but higher than those as well. His word will go out and achieve the purpose He intended. So here's where you stop trying to figure out why something happened or trying to reverse it, and you just begin to seek His will and what you need to learn from it, grow out of it, and do next.

Life is a constant zig and zag. There will be days of down and struggle, yes. But have hope in this: In all things there is a purpose, and at the end of all these struggles and changes, you will be a more complete person...hopefully that many steps closer to your Heavenly, Amazing Father God.
