Reasons.

I know that everything happens for a reason. Well more or less, I believe that with everything that I have. I remember telling myself this, and still do when things go bad, or not as planned, and even when they are as good as they can ever be.

Doors are opened, some are closed, some are slammed in your face too, but it all happens for a specific reason. I know that myself, I often ask "Why" these things happen, but in all reality, I do not need to know why they happen, I just need to have faith that it will all work out for the best.

A very odd thing happened to me this morning. Although odd, it was still very amazing, and just what I needed. A good friend, I've known through high school, said that in the time of prayer and praise they spend with God, my name came to the lips of the conversation for some reason unbeknownst to them. Upon telling me this, I was touched for many more reasons than one. I know that I am blessed, and that God is really reaching out for me in a time like this, through these hard and easy times, and even through the good and bad times.

I am thankful for the reminders that the Lord shows me. Weither it be thru the beautiful things I have around me, or thru the words of a friend.. I am thankful.
