sunday thoughts.

When I think of every past experience that has gotten me to where I am, I realize none of them were wasted. No hurt, no joy, no trial, no victory was unplanned or unused.

There are many experiences in my past that have stretched me, grown me, toughened me and most importantly…molded me into who I am today. Had I not gone through seasons of being told no I would not be thankful for the yeses. If there hadn’t been closed doors, I never would of known the way I know now. Had I not had seasons of celebration and victories I never would of known the promises of God. No experience is wasted. There isn’t a single experience I would wish away. I might wish to have different reactions to those experiences, but the actions themselves have gotten me to the point I am at now. And because of that I am strong. I am confident. I am successful. AND, I am happily and beautifully content. Fearfully and wonderfully made. Thanking and rejoicing for every step being in the footsteps of my Father. I don’t wanna go if He isn’t before me. Plain and simple.
