Peace

Tonight, I'm just in awe at how wonderful my life is. I am blessed with the most amazing family. I have a great support system of friends and neighbors who truly care about me and my well-being. I live very comfortably and am pretty spoiled. I am surrounded by so many examples of complete faith and countless amounts of charity. It's been very humbling for me to take a step back from looking at my life and the challenges in it and seeing what others are currently going through right now. My mom and I drove around the cemetary today and looked at the grave sites of close friends who's lives ended too short. The memories flooded back into my heart along with all the emotions. I am amazed by all that has happened in the past couple years and how much I have grown from it. I have truly seen the Lord's hand in my life. He has constantly been on the look out for me. I know He loves me and is guiding me where I need to go. Although my future in the next year, let alone the next couple of months, is completely up in the air. I know He will guide me to where I need to be. I'm so grateful for the examples I have to remind me of what truly is important and what I should be striving for. I'm grateful for all the opportunities I have to grow and help those around me. Life can be hard at times, but the little rewards and the sweet reminders of pure joy make it all worth it. Life is wonderful.... :)
