I was talking to my husband yesterday & I was asking him why he thinks things don't seem to be working out (life things not marriage wise:). He responded that possibly the purpose is to show us what's not meant to be. Here's hoping the purpose will be crystal clear in the future. I came across this quote & I hope it proves to be the truth:
"Difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping stones to a greater experience. Perhaps someday you will be thankful for some temporary failure in a particular direction. When one door closes another always opens." author unknown
it has always been true in my life....
ReplyDeleteI am listening to Hero (Mariah carey) from Sherry Lee's blog as I read your post and I am crying. It fits your post so well. You are my hero, daughter, captain or not. and i needed that quote today, too.
ReplyDeleteYour picture appears as though you are looking through something and the mirror image is so powerful with this post.
I have been thinking a lot about Amy carmichael lately. Remember the story about her prayer for blue eyes that went unanswered? God had a larger purpose. We don't always understand his timing, but it's hope to know He has our back.
And It's never too late. Take it from one who knows.
