With every passing year, I find myself looking back, back at where I have been to where I am today. As I celebrate the beginning of a new year, I am forced to look back once again to what has brought me to this point. I have not always understood God's direction in my life and have often wondered just why things have happened the way they did. Why did God allow this or that to happen? Why did He not give me the desires that I so longed for? Today, as I look back on what I have been, I see that His ways are perfect whether I understand them or not.
Growing up, I had so many questions. At times, I just could not understand the way that God was choosing to work in my life. I feel now that, despite my lack of patience, if I wait long enough many of these questions will be answered in His perfect timing. (Patience was never a virtue I had great possession of.) Looking back, and now knowing the rest of the story, I can see where God was at work. I can see why He never allowed that certain situation to take place, or why He never allowed that certain person to play a major part in my life. Today, I have seen where I could have been, and I have never been more thankful to be where I am.
