Day 653

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  With all that's been going on the past few days with my nephew, it's hard to understand why things happen the way they do?  But then I need to stop and think, I have no idea what God's big plan is.  All I see is the small picture.  All I see is today.  I cannot see tomorrow, I cannot see 10 years from now.  God has a plan for everything.  He had a plan for me.  When I was in my addiction, I didn't see an end.  I didn't ever see myself getting sober, but God knew the big picture, He knew where I was going, where I would be, that I would get throught it, at least for today.  There are no guarantees, but I am happy now, and I know where I want to be and want to stay.  Today I have a purpose, and that purpose is to live for God, and when I do that, all things work out.  Maybe not in my timing, but always in God's timing.  That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!
