Four Months Ago

Four months ago seems like it was forever ago, yet, then again, it kind've feels like yesterday all at the same time.  It has been four months ago to this very day that a major transformation took place in my life...I decided to start making better decisions.  So, where has that gotten me?  Well, it has gotten me into legal trouble, as well as sitting here tonight with a broken heart.  I am not implying that I regret the decision I made four months ago, but things certainly have not gone as I expected them to. 

I have always heard the saying 'things have to get worse before they can get better';  today, this old saying definitely applies to me.  Looking back at the past several months, even though I have made much better choices than I used to, many parts of my life have completely fallen apart.  Thankfully though, God has allowed this to happen so that he can show me how powerful he is.  Each and every broken piece he picks up for me, placing it back into my puzzling life, right where it belongs.  At times, the pieces of my life seem like they fit together perfectly, but through God's grace and his rearranging of them, I am able to see how they can better fit together when they are taken out and placed back within at a different angle. 

Angles.  Life is all about looking at it from different angles.  I might think at times that life is looking good, yet from another angle, it is completely backwards of how it should be.  Backwards of how God wants it to be. 

Thank you God for showing me once again that some pieces of my life need to be rearranged.  None of them need to be thrown away, they just need to be placed within my life at a different angle.  Thank you for placing people within my life who show me how wonderful life can be, with or without them.  Thank you for helping me make that 'good' choice that I made four months ago.  I cannot wait to see how the next four months will go.  Whether things continue to get worse or better, I know you are there holding my hand all the way.
