I've come to realize something. Not that profound to some or even nothing new to them; but for me, it has practically changed my life. What I want to share is: "Everything happens for a reason" We may not know nor understand the reason at the moment something happens to us, but in time, all will be revealed. For me, the moment I welcomed God back into my life by just praying a bit, things happened at a fast and dramatic pace. I was hurt and angry; yes ... felt utterly betrayed by my feelings. But then again, when I stepped back to look at the whole picture, and accepted the circumstances ... a peace came over me and I was consoled by the fact that everything that happened were indeed for the best and the reasons were revealed. I was lost and hopefully now am found again. When things feel like they're going all wrong, I just have to step back and pray for a little guidance. And He in His infinite wisdom gives clues that even a dunce like me can understand. I have a good friend who sees the best in me and a Father who takes care of me and makes time for me no matter how bad I've become. I have my health and my family. I have what others can only imagine to have. I am truly blessed. What you don't have does not define you ... it's what you do with what you have that matters. Regrets are useless. The only thing that you should take from the past are the lessons not the memories and pain. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. And once you realize you matter in the world and not defined by what you have or have not; things really do get better. God usually works in mysterious ways. Lucky for me, He shared a little vision for me to see his ways. I always get into trouble without Him. He is very wise :)
