I am grateful O God for the times when you have taught me how to be the next best person you are calling me to become. I am most thankful for the times when you have reminded me that you have not only have a plan for my life but so many lessons upon the way. May I learn from my times of not quite getting to where I expected and see all that might form me for the next of the many great adventures that are ahead of me.. Let me also be thankful for the times when my idea of what I thought of you intended set me on another path that led me to a place I could not have expected. Help me in those times to feel your presence and be excited about where you have called me. May I be much more present to the moment and let the future be in your hands. Amen
