Heaven Only Knows.

Today, the sky blended with the ocean.

"Then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning. Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it." Ecclesiastes 8:17

"What if's" race through my head all the time. What if this happened? Then, this would happen? THEN that would happen? Oh my goodness, then I'd be like that! All in thirty-seconds or less. Funny thing is, I visualize every step of the way too. Whether the events are my college basketball career or my chosen professional career, I can't seem to dodge the "What if's".
However, if we live our lives like this, one doesn't truly live. Stuck in the future slash an imaginary world isn't being present in your day.
I struggled with this the most my junior and senior year in high school. With the numerous college admissions, I would plan out in my head how my life would be if I got accepted to each school. I put so much energy into that part of the process instead of taking a step back and counting my blessings that I can even apply to nine colleges. I tried to force my future at a university that didn't even accept me after all; but it was all for a reason. I wasn't meant to go there and I'm thankful.
I'm in the process of learning that we have no control over how our future pans out. Yes, we can guide it in the right direction BUT, at the end of the day, God has a perfect plan for each of us and that everything happens for a reason.
Heaven only knows. Just breathe; center yourself and focus on today--the present moment.


Have a blessed day..in fact, have a blessed moment,
xoxo
