I forget how BIG I'm blessed.

Do you ever get so wrapped up in the small stuff that you forget the great blessings in your life? It’s so easy to do. We are human and we get caught up in the drama of life. It never fails for me, when I am at my lowest (or what I think is my lowest), I always come across someone that has a bigger problem tha
I do. I am in an analytical phase in my life where I find myself analyzing things that are happening around me and why. As I look back on my life the old phrase “Everything happens for a reason” starts to come in focus. And my favorite “what goes around, comes around”, rings true in almost every major event in my life that I wasted precious time and energy sweating over. And it didn’t come around because of anything I did, it just came around. Life has a way of coming full circle and it is amazing and perplexing to analyze. What about ”Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind”. Wow, unbelievably true. If you stir it up, it will turn into a vicious circle.

I guess my advice today is to pick your battles. What are you spending all of your energy on, what is your biggest worry right this minute? In the end, is it worth the worry? Is it going to happen anyway? Is your worry going to change anything? I know I spent years in my own personal torment. I worried, I was scared, I was angry at times. Once I was able to remove myself from the situation, I was able to see a broader perspective. I can now see that all those things were happening for a reason, to strenghthen me and prepare me for larger obstacles further down the line. Although I did not understand them at the time, now I understand. Without the fire and polishing, I would not be who I am today. Those times have turned out to be blessings. As hard as it may be right in the middle of your trouble, if you can find a lesson in the trouble, you are on the right track. What I have realized is when I didn’t learn the lesson, the lesson was presented again in a different set of events. So, if you find yourself constantly in turmoil, find the blessing.

“They have planted the wind
and will harvest the whirlwind.”
Hosea 8:7
