Patience…

TRUST 👏🏼 THE 👏🏼 PROCESS

Literally.

It’s that simple.

Everything happens for a reason and always always always at the right time.

So many people get bummed out or discouraged because things aren’t going according to THEIR plan. They don’t realize someone else’s plan wayyy outweighs theirs. Nothing is going to happen until it’s exactly the perfect moment. He won’t allow that.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my life up to now and what I’ve been through. I know I’ve had to go through the things I’ve gone through to get to where I am at this moment. I had to know pain and misery to be able to know and recognize true happiness. I know it was all part of the plan. I had to make mistakes. I had to fail. I had to LEARN.

I didn’t understand at the time, though.. why things weren’t working out the way I thought they should. I was sad. I was confused. I was angry. Why would He do this? What lesson is He trying to teach me? What did I do to deserve this? Why is my life in shambles? Why is He making me suffer?

But now, I get it. I HAD to go through all of that to get to where I am right now. It wasn’t that He was making me suffer. He was preparing me.

I wouldn’t change anything either. I wouldn’t change my struggles. I wouldn’t change my unhappiness. I wouldn’t change my hardships. I wouldn’t change my past. It’s all made me who I am today. It’s shaped me into.. me. With some help, of course.

I, too, get discouraged at times. I start to wonder why things aren’t happening the way I think they should, but then I take a step back and realize it will eventually come. I have to be patient. Patience truly is a virtue. A virtue that is seemingly lost nowadays. Good things come to those who wait. So I will continue to wait. I know I deserve all the things that are coming. So, I will wait.

I am at peace in my life. Something I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been able to say. I am comfortable. I am happy.. truly happy. I don’t know the last time I could say that, and it not be a lie.
