The beauty of life is this: there is a reason for everything.

This will be a extra short post, my brain has officially stopped working. Today has been a long, long, loooong day! Geesh! I need a nap. it was non-stop from beginning to end. However, my personality loves days like this. I dislike being bored, I dislike that feeling of not having accomplished anything. It’s days like this that make me realize why what we do is so important. Here’s the lesson: On this journey we sometimes forget why our personal existence matters. Many times we compare and contrast. we look at others and wonder why we haven’t attained what they have. How come we are here and they are there? Today I realized why I was here and not somewhere else. This journey is transient where we are today, may not be where we’ll be tomorrow. Grow where you’re planted, find your reason for your current spot. Don’t look to others to define yourself. God has a reason for it all, He wastes nothing.

“We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps” (Proverbs 16:9).

So what am I thankful for today? Growing where I am planted.
