Blessings

So, recently I had the privilege of attending a wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, the weather was warm and sunny, the bride looked perfect, the groom wept as she walked down the isle and leaped with joy at their first dance. It was strange for me because I had dated the groom for about 5 years and me and everyone around us thought that it would be him and I getting married. I am not sad though, I am so happy for my friend, I wish them the greatest blessings that a marriage can have!
But it made me think about my own life, what would it be like had I actually married that man? Where would I be now? What would my life be like? And I came to one resounding fact, God has taken me on a journey far better than my little heart could have imagined. I feel so blessed to be where I am being the person I am, living in Christ's light and just letting Him guide me. I don't know where my life would be had I made that choice long ago, but I am giddy with joy at where God has me right now! I have loved every minute of this adventure and I am holding my breath waiting to see what brilliant plan He has next for me!
I challenge anyone reading this to thank God for placing them where they are, for having the strong testimonies they have because of where they have been.
With much love and many blessings!
