A day of the truth and revelations.

Today was tough for me. There really is no way around it. Around 2:00am this morning (I like to stay up sometimes) I received an email that changed the course of this day and my vision of part of my future. I won't go into details, but I am so thankful for the people I worked and talked with and with whom I began to reconcile the situation immediately. When situations are sensitive and issues arduous, it is truly a blessing to work with people you trust, love, respect deeply, and with whom you hold an abiding confidence. While I learned to value these people more, it is even better to know that God is in control of everything and to be able to rest and have peace in knowing that He knows all and has a perfect will and pure desires for each of us.

Sometimes, I am confused as to why He brings things along or puts feelings in my heart that don't pan out, at least in my timing or method anyways. But as I reflect on this, I realize that God's will for my life is truly what I want and what it best for me. When I seek Him, everything that comes along in His name is for a purpose. Then, in the times of storm and waves in my heart and mind, I find that ineffable and wonderfully overwhelming peace that all is well, God is still the same He was yesterday and He will remain the same tomorrow, He loves me, and He knows the plans He has for me - and they are perfect, not always wonderful in my book, yet perfect.
