I am right where I should be.

Ok, so question why? But, be prepared to find the answer. I am doing better with this stay at home thing and the most wonderful thing happened. I feel I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I am thankful. I am most grateful. What happened you may ask. Life happened. I have been made aware of people in so much more difficult situations. The young lad with cancer. The parents of dead students at Virginia Tech. The students who survived but may never be the same from what they witnessed. Yesterday, at church, I was asked to be a speaker at a women's retreat this fall, go figure. I am to talk about the seasons of life. Yesterday at church, our pastor spoke about God empowering us through our weaknesses and trials. Bingo!! Okay, so the lightbulb turned on and my heart seemed lighter. I AM EXACTLY WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO BE, PERIOD. I no longer need to second guess the slope thing. I no longer need to second guess my surgery. I no longer need to wonder what if? I don't need to worry about what I can and can't do. I simply need to be ready and willing to serve, to share, to witness, to be scared, to be honest, to be ME. Then and only then I found my place. Then and only then I felt comfortable. Then I read Lamentations 3: 28-30 in the Message, "When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don't ask questions: wait for hope to appear. DONT RUN FROM TROUBLE. TAKE IT FULL-FACE. The worst is never the worst. WHY? Because the Master won't ever walk out and fail to return." I am here.
