The concept of life happening for you and not to you is foreign to so many persons as they think all that happens to them in life is just life. Think about it, not all that happens to you that you presume to be bad is really bad. Sometimes things happen and you are not certain why but it happened for you and it made a change in your life. That’s when you realize life happens for you and not to you. You just have to accept it.
When you look back that’s when you realize that what happened was making that shift in your life that set you on the path that you are on now. As Steve Jobs said “you can’t connect the dots unless you are looking backwards”. And remember hindsight is 20/20 😉. The important thing is that you recognize that what had happened was not as bad as you thought. If you don’t realize that then nothing will ever seem right for you as it will seem as if you are the only person bad things happen to. I can hear it now “why me Father?” I have said it and I know you have.😉
I think my favorite example is; I wanted to be a doctor when I was in high school and worked towards it. However my plans and that of God were not the same 😉. Well I was in an accident and my back was badly injured, and so I had to spend a bit of time in the hospital doing physiotherapy as an outpatient. That’s when I realized I HATED the smell of the hospital. Seeing things and blood didn’t bother me but the smell, oh lord the smell. So major shift in plans. Now I’m in IT and love it most of the time. 🤣. I went through a couple changes before getting here, but I’m here. It took me a while but I figured it out. Life happens for you sometimes and not always to you. Let me know what you think. Can you now see it in your life? Really have a look and let me know via any medium.
See you next Wednesday, at 8:00 pm.

True. I wanted to have been a nurse. But I spent so much time there was traumatized. So true God track our paths. Thank you
