I believe God places experiences and people in our path to bring out our gifts, strengths, and uniqueness. It can be painful like childbirth. It can be as subtle as a flower's bud blooming. The end result amazes me. One day, years later, you look around and see why it all happened as it did. You lay out the old wrinkled map of you life's journey and see things differently... almost for the first time. The patterns work. The puzzle pieces fit. The paint is no longer muddled, but now iridescent. You just know you had nothing to do with this synergistic state. This path has taken you to this moment of contentment and joyful purpose and the Angels just smile.
Such a beautiful sentiment. And one I totally agree with. Even the most dire experience can become the impetus for amazing change. God sees it all clearly. I often wonder when I'm stuck in traffic or some other random spot of what appears to be bad luck (And I get annoyed *winks*)....Did God put this obstacle in my life right now to save me from something? More than once I've found this to be true. Vanna
