Not So Straight Path

Sometimes things in life just don't go as you thought they would.

You have this perfect little scenario in your head,

but one thing goes wrong,

then another,

and another.

Until you feel like a black rain cloud is over your head,

and you don't have an umbrella.

Things have been kind of crazy around here.

To say it's been stressful is an understatement for sure.

A lot of our plans are falling through the cracks and not panning out the way we had hoped.

It's times like these that I struggle.

I struggle to remember that God has a plan.

And I need to surrender to him and realize that everything will work out the way he wants it to.

It may not be the way I wanted, or hoped it would turn out.

But,

It's going to have a happy ending at some point.

And things that don't work out,

just aren't meant to be.

Sometimes it's hard to remember that, 

and keep your head up, 

and stay positive.

Sometimes it's hard to be strong, 

and not get upset.

But I keep trying.

It's times like these that I'm thankful.

Thankful for family,

friends, 

loved ones,

and these two guys.

"Trust in the lord with all your heart,

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3: 5-6
