God has put me where He has put me. He will give me the grace to do what is before me and the strength to stand each day. These so called negative things that come my way will not take me down, but make me stronger. I will be victorious and, upon reflection, the path I crossed will be overflowing with blessings.
In my mind, the path I'm forced down is muddy and dark, but when I look behind me flowers are overflowing over the path. They are squeezed together and rejoicing like teenage girls at a pop concert.
There has been a pattern in my life that reminds me to look back at the path I have just crossed to gaze at the blossoming flowers. After our first dog died we got a new dog, the best we could have imagined. We took on a new car payment, but payed off our other one. We've experienced many losses, but not without the presence of flowers.
I know that all seemingly negative or difficult things will reveal something beautiful in my life. I simply need to look back every once in a while after I’ve walked through the mire and see what God has done to the path He carried me through. He always does it, I can count on Him doing it again and again.
