Where am I??

Good evening everyone. I hope you all had a great day. When I started this I felt that I would encounter a few problems. The biggest problem I felt I would come across was the difficulty of coming up with a topic to discuss. Well, here I am, three days in and I felt this morning like I had no where to go with this today. So, I started reading a book that I've been working on little by little, and the spark hit me. So, let's dive in!

I asked myself a few days ago, how did I get here? How did I get to this isolated place? What brought me to this place in my life? I look back a year ago, and I was sitting there thinking the world was closing in around me. I didn't know what I wanted, I didn't know where to go, and I didn't know where the path I was on was going to take me. I was looking down and seeing nothing but the rough path that I was on.

Then a couple months after, my road began to lead me a different way. Just when all seemed lost, my path began going in a better direction. I was looking up for inspiration for the first time in years. I never knew that I would be where I am now. In 10 months, I have met the love of my life, I have become a great worker, and I will be debt free in a couple months. Those are all goals I made when I came up here.

Looking back now, and wondering just how I made it to this place that I am makes me realize a couple things. First, I realize that I am where I wanted to be, not by my doing, by putting my faith in the One that takes care of me. When I felt most lost, he smoothed out my path and showed me a way. Second, being lost a year ago was rough, and I am sure that we all have been in a spot like that. It is a place where nothing seems right, where all seems lost, but there is hope. The hope I found was that, looking back, I was in a rough spot that lead me to this beautiful place I am now.

So to rap this up, take some time and think back about what lead you to where you are now. Maybe you were like me and in a rough spot a few years back, look at all the rough spots that lead you to where you are now. If you are in a rough spot now, take heart knowing that there is hope for a better path. You may not see it now, but rest assured, it is there. I take comfort when I look back knowing I had rough times and knowing that when I encounter them in the future, they will lead to great things. Good night and God bless.
