The Best Thing?

Life doesn’t always go as planned.

And when things aren’t what we expect, our ‘buttons’ are often pushed, old lies surface and default make-shift solutions come to the fore.

Head into all these things straight on, slaying them left and right, allowing none to stand.

Everyone is not out to get you. God doesn’t hate you. And no, this is not punishment for something from your eighth grade year.

Take a breath, push the pause button for a bit, step back, look at the big picture, say ‘no’ to the lies, and ask yourself, “How might this be the best thing that ever happened to me?”
