As I sit here and ponder life, I am convicted by our gracious Lord that all is well. As I am scurrying with my daily schedule of work, attempting to make it to the gym, fitting in a tanning session, planning my wedding, and making sure I make it to this event and this appointment, I tend to get lost in life. With my wedding approaching quickly, I have had a few glitches occur in my plans. When I find myself getting so caught up in MY plans and what I want, I am then convicted and reminded that it's not always about ME. There are so many other things in life and in this world going on, that my stupid, petty, little glitches don't even matter or measure up to other things. My family is going through a rough patch now and we just take life, day by day. Then I am reminded of all the world's disasters, such as the tsuamni that took place in Japan this past weekend, and so many innocent people who lost everything they had and ever knew as well as the many lives that were lost. I look at the sweet, little 5 year old girl, Lucy, in Memphis, who is fighting for her LIFE, battling a horrible cancer disease, traveling from one hospital to another. Everyday I read her mother's blog and I am reassured that my life really is ok. I have also found that once all is said and done, the plans I had didn't matter, because what ended up was a better plan anyway. So, as you read this, I challenge you to just sit back and think about your life. Be still (as I wrote on in a previous post) before the Lord and take it all in. You will be blessed.
