some days.

some days i just like to lay on the grass, watching life pass by.
i think about where i've been and where i'm giong.
i'm amazed at how much i've grown, overcome, and changed.
i am grateful for the thing i have, the people i know, and the blessings i receive.
and while i'm laying here i thank my Heavenly Father.  simply, for everything.
for family. for friends.
for laughter and happiness.
for hard times and failures.
and mostly, for his unending love.
it's these moments of utter simplicity that eternity really sinks in.
my life has a purpose.
it always has and it always will.
at times i get discouraged and wonder if i'm even doing the right things.
but i always remember Proverbs 3:5-6,
 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct they paths."
and then, just like that, everything is perfectly fine.
