Wise Advice

"Don't live upset" ...advice I heard today when I turned on the only station I currently get on my TV.

Easy to hear - not quite so easy to carry out.

The speaker said that when times in life seem like a "set back" - they're really a "set up" for something new and better. 



I want to believe his words that "things don't happen to us - they happen for us".

I know I have to avoid getting stuck in "why and what ifs" - as I may never understand things. 

I want to shake off the discouragement and disappointment - and come out stronger on the other side. 

He said, "Don't fight against the closed door.  When opposition pushes you out of your comfort zone - the opposition will only make you stronger."  

I want to believe that.  I want to learn to thank God and appreciate my closed doors - as they encourage me to look forward in a different, new, and better direction. 

I will dare to Trust again.  Trust will give me Hope that amazing things are in store.
