Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you
thought life would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually
living. - Rachel Marie Martin, Findingjoy.net, The brave Art of Motherhood
Stay
committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. - Tony Robbins
I
don't understand why things happen the way they do, but I do know that God is
in control and has a perfect plan for every situation. - Unknown
It's
never luck or fate, it's God's perfect plan. - Stephen Samuel
In
their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. - Proverbs
16:9
As a dreamer and very goal-oriented person, I create a plan to
accomplish the dream/vision and then I implement the plan to accomplish
it. However, that is not life and I
learned that this year. I was absolutely
determined that I had met the man of my dreams in 2017. He met all of the qualifications that I had
prayed for and there were things that he did to show his interest. However, he never made a serious move. This went on for over a year. The ups and downs were not good for my
emotions. In mid-June, there was a tall,
blonde-haired man that showed up at my church.
I noticed him, but thought he was younger than me. I asked one of my friends to do “recon” on
him for me. Come to find out, yes, he is
younger than me and he is also a Marine with blue eyes. We officially met on July 15th and
by mid-August he made a move and we have been dating ever since. As of the writing of this blog post, that is
about 3.5 months.
I learned that I saw what I thought was the right “opportunity” for me
but learned that there was another “opportunity” that exceeded anything I could
have prayed for. I don’t know how this
will end up, but I do know that I learned that I have to be open to other
options and flexible with how I will accomplish my dreams.
Lesson Learned: Be Open to Other Options!
CHALLENGE: What have
you been determined is the “right opportunity” for you? Is there a change that you need to make in
2019 to provide the opportunity for new options?
