In the midst of my own personal life crisis, God is showing himself to me in ways I couldn't even imagine. There are two themes that continually return to my mind and those are:
1. Believe Him
2. Be thankful
Even though it feels as if I have nothing to live for and there will never come a day that I am truly happy again, I know that realistically that is not true - it just feels true. But I have so much to be thankful for that my current life status is small potatoes to the big picture of what life is and all it has to offer. I am so thankful for everything in my life - everything. I have a car, an apartment, a job, a family. But if I would just take a magnifying glass and look at things at an even smaller, simpler level I have so much more to be thankful for. I have a bed to sleep in. I have a microwave to heat up my food in. I have a DVD player to watch my movies on. I have a hair dryer to dry my hair with. I have a shower and towels to keep me clean. I have clothes to wear. I have glasses to to see with. I have a cell phone to call my loved ones with. I have so much to just sit back and truly thank God for. Sure, I may be in emotional pain right now, but does that really matter in the awesomeness of who God is and what he has blessed me with? It's petty. It's superficial. It isn't worth it. Only knowing and loving and following God is what makes my life worth while. If I am not listening to Him and seeking His will for my life, then what good am I? I am here for a reason and that reason is to be busy about His work. Shining His light into the dark places of peoples lives and giving them hope and peace.
At the moment I feel very content and excited about what my future holds. I am excited to see what God's plan is for me - what my "greater yes" is.
