Where would I be right now? This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I look back over the circumstances of the events in my life, I wonder where I would be and how different I could have turned out. Where would I be if I was still friends with that person? Where would I be if my parents had moved my brothers and I to a new school? Where would I be if I had decided to follow the crowd in high school? But more importantly, where would I be right now if I had never been saved?

Some people don't believe that there is a God, but when I look back at what has happened in my life and my families life, there's no doubt that there is one. It's hard to see what will become of a situation but with God, you know that it will work out for the good of those who love Him. The way I look at it is that someone has it worse then I do. If I argue with my parents, then at least I have loving parents to argue with. Same with my brothers. If I lose a friend, then I'm lucky to have had a friend to lose.

I'm not saying those situations aren't hard to deal with sometimes. I'm saying to change your outlook on hard times. It'll all work out in the end. God is in control and knows exactly how things will turn out.

All the puzzle pieces of my life haven't been put together, yet, but you want to know the coolest part about that? God has already seen my whole life, before I was ever thought of on earth. Isn't that so amazing? I get the Holy Goosebumps when I think about that! I may not have a plan for the next year or five years of my life but God does. And I know that His way is higher and so much better than I ever could have imagined for myself.

Rest easy, God's got this.
