The Best Things in Life Aren't Free

I had an epiphany.

I am where I'm supposed to be. Every single event that has taken place in my life led to this point. I'm alive. I have family. I have only an extreme few people that I really call a friend because people up here are crazy wonderful friends. I have a job. I have a car. I have a roof over my head. I have clothes to wear. I enjoy the use of all of my limbs and senses. I have a God who loves me more than anyone has or ever will love me.

I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.

I believe that from this moment- right here, right now- I am going to begin to truly walk into the plan that God has for me. God said that He knows the plans that He has for me. They are good plans, not evil. (Jeremiah 29:11)

You know what's funny though? Things aren't easy right now. I am dealing with things. Money isn't where I would like it to be. I can't do all of the things that I want to do. My relationships with different people are teetering on being non-existent, mind you I was once extremely close to some of these people. Things are a bit haywire at the moment.

But I know that I have the victory. It has been promised to me. So all I have to do is go through TRUSTING and BELIEVING God's promise to me.

If God came to you and showed you who you were to be and all of the grand things that you would do, would you tell Him, "I'm good. Don't worry about it." Of course not. You'd jump right on that and believe it. "I receive it!" But what would you do if after you accepted that, He showed you all of the trials that you must go through to get to the victory?

Anything worth having is going to take time. It's going to take perseverance. It's going to take trust and faith in God. My being is in Christ. I believe that all things good for my life is in Him. So, I'm ready and willing to get in the seat, strap on my seat belt, and go for this ride. It's like riding a roller coaster. You know that the ride is about to be something crazy, but in the end, the twists and turns stop. The sudden drops and surprises cease. And you have peace.

You just have to simply trust Him.
