"Life isn’t fair or it’s not fair.” We hear this all the time… from kids to adults.. from grieving to happy to angry. What does fair even mean? Well according to the dictionary, “in accordance with the rules or standards; legitimate.”
So what is fair? Is it getting your way? Is it a perfect life? We all have ideas of what the perfect life may look like. It could be the perfect family, life and job in our head. For me, it’s to have my precious girl back and my family to be whole, but what is God’s plan for us? I surely don’t know what his plan is for me, my children, or my future. What I do know… is that his plan is must be so much bigger than mine. We lost Presley when she was just three years old.... That just doesn't make sense.
When I’m talking to him in prayers or just on my way somewhere.. I just pray that I’m down the right path in life. I pray for my family, friends, and loved ones. I pray for people that I don’t even really know. I pray that my mini me, Presley is watching over me and I pray that she knows just how much her mommy loves her.
I don’t know where I’ll be in 5 years or 50 years, but I do know where I want to be and where I am heading. It is straight to God and my pretty princess. Let’s quit trying to make this life for ourselves and start listening to God and what he has planned. When it comes to believing and trusting in him, it hasn’t always been an easy task, and I doubt myself more than I should, but I’m praying I stay on the right road.
God’s plan may not be what we want right now, but we need to trust in him that he has something so much better than we ever thought. It wasn’t fair for God to die on the cross for every one of us, but he did, so I will try to live my life. Not just live, but really live. I want to succeed in every aspect of life, and be ready for what God has planned for my family and I, because I know it’s going to be HUGE.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
