Day 67 - What ifs

Sometimes we have events and heartaches in our lives that are terribly complicated and painful. It's so easy to say "what if" or "only if." Our hearts may yearn to turn back the hands of time, when things were easier or more normal. And yet, that isn't the path, this is. This painful and difficult path is the one you are supposed to be on. Turning back those hands of time, while they may shield you from pain, will not fix anything. The problem, the catalyst, the reward, the wisdom, the journey will not go away or ever get better without stepping forward. This is how it's supposed to be and through it you are supposed to hang on with all of your might and all of your hope, trusting in God's plan. Instead of living in the guilt, depression, sadness, or the what ifs, immerse yourself in hope and in faith. See the light, look straight ahead, pray, walk past the hurt, and know that this is the right path for right now.

I'm sorry you are hurting.
