People often talk about finding your "happy place" when life gets overwhelming. So tonight I was looking through pics and reliving laughter as I went someplace that brought me tremendous joy, even in the midst of the worst heartache of my life.

Life often doesn't turn out how we plan it. In fact, I'm finding that it rarely does. But I have to continue to believe in the midst of this storm that He's there...and that He's good...and that He has a plan. Even though I feel like He's left me in the dark...He's given me such precious treasures in the past that bring light my present. Friends who have stuck...and whose arms I can fall into when I cannot feel His.

Last week I found this song...and it resonates with the brokenness in my heart. I'm such an impatient person...God's timing and provision just isn't good enough for me so many times. And yet, who am I to tell God when or how to do things? I just have to give it time...His time.

Still waters, heavy hearts
Plans we make all fall apart
Disillusioned and lost in the gray
How can we fix the heart when it breaks?
Don't know how much more you can take

Just give it time
It's gonna get better
Now is not forever at all
Just give it time
Everything changes
Tomorrow comes today will be gone
Everything's gonna be fine
Just give it time, give it time

Quiet landslide when nobody knows
Regretted decisions that nobody chose
Under water and sinking fast
No way out, no way to get back
What might have been is lost in the past

When the world you're in is still again
And it all fades out
You've reached the end, begin again now

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Just give it time

-Jon McLaughlin, "Just Give it Time"
