Do you ever have those days or maybe months where you just feel like nothing is going the way you want it to? Funny how we think our plan is the right way :) Well the past week was one of those times. Plain and simple, I have been unhappy that I am not dating anyone or married. It all started when I received an wedding invitation this week. It was addressed to Miss Single and guest. I really want to take a date to this wedding in particular. There will be lots of dancing and I love to dance! I began to cry as I thought about who I could ask (I receive lots of wedding invitations and this is the first one that made me cry). There was no one. The feeling of loneliness quickly took over. Frustrated with myself, I finally took my thoughts to my journal this morning. I sat outside on my cozy porch sipping hot tea while soaking in the crisp fall morning. I started to write down all of the dreams that had come true in my life. I was amazed to see how many dreams had actually come true. Then it hit me that I was living out one of my dreams. Since I was a little girl I had dreamed of living in this one particular neighborhood in my city. The houses are old and full of character. The streets are lined with old trees and wide sidewalks. Guess what? I now live in that neighborhood. How many times in our life do we miss our dreams coming true because we are waiting for the next best thing? Do we miss out on living because we are always focused on the waiting? I don't know what will happen in my life, but I have a peace that I know someone has created me to hope and dream and that my life is in His hands :)
