Lesson 10: Everything Happens For A Reason

            I love to have a plan. If I can make things go according to my schedule, I'm a happy girl. It makes life predictable and makes it easier to roll with the punches. But we all know that's not how life works. Everything happens for a reason, and in it's own time, whether you like it or not.

            I can see you mocking this cliche in some goofy voice right now for being sappy, but you’re the one that said it. As much as I try to plan my life, it’s going to work out the way it’s supposed to. Whether I like it or not. Because that’s GOD’s plan – not mine.

“Lord, if it’s not your will, let it slip through my grasp, and give me the peace to not worry about it.”

Tony A. Gaskins Jr.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked back and said “Wow. I never would have imagined myself here a year ago.” Things change. People change. Plans change. And that’s okay. Because until the accident, there hasn’t been a single thing that I would change. From mom and dad’s divorce, to all the moves, to the breakups, I know you’re right – It all happens for a reason. I just have to look for the reason in everything, and remember that it’s all in God’s plan.

            I just wish I could understand why you’re not here.
