My daughter and I went to the Family Christian Store the other day and I found this book (shown above). After only reading the first couple of pages, I felt like I was meant to read this book. It's powerful message made me stop in my tracks and think about my life. I'm a firm believer that God puts perfect situations/people/etc.. in our path to learn a particular lesson at that moment in time. As they say, "When the student is ready, the Teacher appears". So true in my case.
This book spoke right to my heart. In fact, I was so impressed that we ran out the very next day to get a copy for my daughter. I plan to highlight passages that have special meaning to me and I knew she would want to do the same.
I know God has a plan for us. We need to appreciate where we are in life, because we are exactly where we should be at this perfect moment.
"God's choices for you on this leg of the marathon was by design.
That's why you're here. In this position.
Facing this project.
Married to that man.
Involved in that friendship.
Dealing with that issue.
Living in that neighborhood.
Spearheading that committee
Participating in that activity.
Mothering those children.
Living this life".
