I made a comment to all of them how it seems they are right where they're supposed to be. Who knows where we'll be in five, ten years from now, but right now, they are exactly where they need to be.
Let's ask that question for ourselves: are we right where we want to be right now?

Two years ago, I was in Costa Rica and I was right where I needed to be, single, with a whole year away from the world to figure out who is the adult Matt away from CUA. I needed every single bit of that time to make mistakes, find out which Matt showed up, and which Matt I wanted to bring back. That year has forever shaped who I am today and who I want to be in my career and home life.
I do have dreams for five and ten years from now, and shoot there's still that big dream of writing a book one day. I don't know when that will be because I haven't had any time to blog anymore, though I appreciate the encouragement I've gotten from some that there are still readers out there (which is humbling to accept).
But I remember where I was five and ten years ago. And I was hoping for a Matt with a job and on his way to a vocation. Shoot, I am there and it was more than I could hope for and not at all how I planned it.
God is great, and I constantly reflect, it's only when I let Him be.
Amén.
Even though sometimes we may struggle with where we are, I do agree with this. God works with us right where we are...And that's where we are supposed to be.

ReplyDeleteYeah, sure! Thanks for considering it :)
DeleteThe only place to be is in the present moment! (Ooh, and my present moment is calling me back from blogland!) You ARE right where you're supposed to be - great example of trusting & joyful surrender without the loss of engagement of your own will. Very inspiring indeed! :) Go Matt. Hi to that lovely lady of yours!
