Rearview mirrors



this morning I read a quote that really made me think. "sometimes God reveals Himself in rear view mirrors" think about it when you are driving how often do you look in your rear view mirror? Yes there are the obvious when changing lanes etc etc... But so many times SO many are much more focused on the road ahead ONLY. We often forget to look back. have you ever had a trial SO big that you don't know how you will ever survive? And then somehow we come out a lot stronger then we ever thought possible. This is called the refiners fire. Got to say sometimes not a big fan of fire. Then we find ourselves saying how did we make it through? this is the time to look back into your "rear view mirror" you will find that there are all these little steps that may seem SO insignificant at the time but, were really key in helping us through. God placed these "stumbling" blocks. and it is our job to use them as stepping stones. I have truly been blessed in my life, and I am guilty of not looking in my "rear view mirror" to see that God was with me the whole time.

Dear God,

Please help me to find peace. Please help me to tolerate others. please help me to be more Christlike even when I really would rather be mean. Please help me to find forgiveness for those that wrong me. please help me to find my faith. Please help me to remember that Home is where my Family is. I know this list is long. but, trust me you know the list in my heart is much much longer. I want to thank you for being in my life. for reminding me everyday that there is good still in this world. By giving me sunshine through the clouds, children's I love yous, All the love it love its I can stand. sweet nieces and nephews hugs that melt my heart. a sisters text that makes me feel at peace. A father that reminds me to hold to my faith. and my husband who constantly brings me back to my faith when I fall. love, me
