“While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to willingly give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a good man [one who is noble and selfless and worthy] someone might even dare to die. But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:6-8

This Life isn't what I signed up for

Have you ever heard that?  We going along in life with certain expectations and goals, then when they don't happen, we don't like life anymore.  I have come to realize that when I was trying to be in control, life did not "happen" for me and I experienced disappointment after disappointment.  I now know that when God is my life and direction, that is not the case.  I may still have certain expectations and goals, but when they don't happen the way I think they should happen, the disappointment does not come because His result is much more.  God designed it an planned it and it is better than I could have ever imagined.

When I started this blog, I was hurting and disappointed because of circumstances going on.  Hindsight is 20/20.  God was there all along, but I didn't see Him because I was blinded by my expectations.  I am so thankful that His Grace is sufficient.  My life is still not what I expected, but knowing Christ is there every step of the way and has a better plan, is more comfort than one can ask for.
