Opportunities?

Does the early bird really get the worm? When one door closes does another door opens or maybe a window? If it doesn't work out do we think, will it work out for the better in the future? Hmm. A few things that have happened this week leads me to these questions.
We all seem to have thoughts on how things should be. But what if all of a sudden they change.

I was taught that I need to flow with it and see where it takes me. He never gives us more than we can handle. I have been trying to live this way since my life was turned upside down many years ago. Oh it took a long time to except that, but I have been trying to live that way ever since. Sometimes I have to wait to see how the things that change are going to be for the better. But some way some how they do. May times I have to look beyond the two feet ahead of me. So today I am looking four feet ahead. Trying to understand the why's and how's it is going to be for the better.

When we let people come into our life, we let in a lot more worries and hardships. But on the other hand, we gain a lot more love and happiness. It is just how that works. Nothing ventured~nothing gained. Good with the bad, joys with the pains. It is just how it is.

So today I am looking at the glass half full and knowing that things are going to work out for the better. More growing and changing will happen. Open to it. Can't stand, where we sit!

Sure wish I knew what you were talking about. Because I agree, it is good in life to have a positive attitude, take the good with the bad, believe that He will guide and provide...as long as we are looking at situations honestly and openly. Believing that everything will be ok doesn't mean without judgment and questioning. We can assume, hope and pray that our children will make the "right" decision, but that doesn't mean we don't question, ask, inquire, demand at times they at least look at the right path. We assume, hope and pray that our co-workers will do their job as they should with dignity, honesty and generosity. But would we look the other way if they weren't? We hope, pray and believe that our life relationships will always be honest, open, caring, nurturing, built on the faith and prayer that both people want the same things.

But unfortunately we all know the children lead astray, the co-worker let go for making wrong choices, and yes of course the relationships, friends and lovers, that have come in and out of our lives for many reasons. The friend who said you're my BFF forever, but then treated us poorly.

Did people not believe ENOUGH in those situations? Didn't they pray hard enough? Or didn't we ask and questions enough? How much did we just let go...waiting for it to get better.

We all make choices that build us into what who we are...it doesn't mean take the easy road, the high road, the right road, it's the choice that's right in your own heart. If you listen to your voice, you will know the answer... you don't just let it ride, you listen and follow. You go with the flow when your feelings are not going against the current.
