If Things Went My Way

I catch myself saying "If things go my way..." a lot. Sometimes I wonder if this isn't me trying to control things and get my way without making it sound like that is what I'm doing. I want things to go the way that I want them to. The past few days though I have been thinking back over times where things didn't "go my way" and realized what a blessing that was.

If things went my way I would have never been laid off from my job at Xerox. If that didn't happen I would have never pursed going back into teaching and I truly love it (even as a sub).

If things went my way I would have never moved to Cartersville from Tampa. This might have been one of the biggest unexpected blessings. I can't imagine not getting to know people that have come to mean a great deal to me from Sunday School & Choir. They are such a blessing in my life.

I'm glad that things don't always "go my way", I would have missed many unexpected blessings.
