WOW: Peace Out

We all go through hard times.  We all become frustrated.  We all are challenged, and we all get in those “I want to run away where no one can find me” funks.  You are the only one who can choose to give into it, or pray about it, find peace and move forward.

I’m sure a lot of you are aware that Scott and I are currently going through some crazy life changes.  We recently get married, but the changes keep on coming with both of us currently looking for the next chapter in our lives to start.  There are days where we truly live the life of newlyweds before kids by experiencing Orlando, going out to eat, seeing movies, going to events and going out with friends.  Other days it’s rough…not knowing what’s next in your lives can be pretty frustrating.  It’s easy to get caught up in our obstacles, forget what we have going for us and obtain negative outcomes.  The only thing that gets me through times of uncertainty is count on my faith, and find peace in what the Lord has in store for us.

My Word of Wisdom (WOW) this Wednesday?

Psalm 34:14
Turn from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Peace Out, Girl Scout.

As of right now, the only thing keeping us in the city we currently live in is family.  We are both at a point in our lives where we could pick everything up at any given time and are considering moving to another city, state or even country.  That is such a cool feeling, but it’s also unbelievably frustrating and scary not knowing what’s next in our new lives together.  I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss the life we had together even just a year ago…it seemed like we figured everything out.  But, seasons change, jobs change and so do lives.

Instead of dwelling on what we don’t have going for us, accept your life for what it is today.  Your future depends on an optimistic attitude and trusting that the Lord has a plan for you.  Find peace in the situations around you and move forward.  With that, we’re taking one day at a time…getting the most out of our time together and looking forward to see what’s in store for us.

Question of the Day

Do you seek peace?
