~I often don't understand life - but I know that God is all knowing.
~I can't always see what's happening at the time or how it's going to work out in the future - but ~I know that God has a plan and is working behind the scenes.
~I don't always know what lessons I need to learn - but God does and He wants me to learn.
~I usually have my way of thinking how life should go - and God has His (and they aren't always the same).
~God's best will always be better than the best I can conguire up on my own.
The last several months have been - well, difficult. There were definitely times when I just wanted God to fix things and make my life easy again. But I kept asking Him to show me what He had for me. And He chose to keep me in the difficult circumstances for longer than I would have chosen. And I can honestly say, I have learned many things. "Life is hard but God is good".
Those that know me well know that I have struggled with being content for, well, pretty much my whole life. And coming to the place were I can say that I am content, has been a gradual process. But I can honestly say, I like where I am, I'm happy and I'm not trying to see around the next bend in the road. And it is such a "freeing" feeling!
I've learned about the importance of totally surrendering to God and His plan for my life. When I ask Him for His best and then allow Him to give it to me in His time, it's so much better than when I try to work things out on my own.
I'm learning to ask for help and rely on others at times (really hard for an independantly minded person). God has placed some absolutely amazing and wonderful people in my life and I am so thankful for all that they've done for me.
I truly an liking living in South Carolina. No immediate plans of moving. Jury's still out on the school thing and as to when I'll be able to pursue the cosmetology thing. I just got a full-time job (HUGE answer to many months of prayers). Come visit when ya'll can ;)
