If you know me at all, you know I have a bad habit of rolling my eyes and frequently it's after I've processed a situation or conversation and am retelling it. Over recent years, I have found much frustration with cliches thrown at me about waiting on things in life: "You never know what's around the corner!" or "You will be blessed when you least expect it!" On my 25th birthday, I remember telling a friend, "I keep going around the corner and nothing is ever there!" I have since referenced this many times and have laughed with my sister about "running laps around all sorts of corners."
As I write this, I am less than an hour away from my 29th birthday and have now sadly become one of those people who is in danger of saying one of those previously begrudged phrases to some other skeptical, slightly cynical person who might cross my path. Prior to the past couple of weeks, my expectations of what could have been right around the corner for me were grossly underestimated. I have been richly blessed by someone who's been very special to me for over 20 years, but in a very different way than ever before. I could write more about this than what would keep the attention of most. However, let it be known that this man pursuing my heart is unlike any other!
My eyes have been opened to God's work in my heart and life over the past several years and I'm simply amazed. I am honored to be ministered to in such a way that reflects the Lord's work so wonderfully. I've testified that He's in control and been told His timing is perfect, but can now look back and see how so many things have worked together to bring me to this place. The ultimate lesson in all of these new found blessings is for me to do my best to enjoy every day, take things a step at a time, and trust my Maker with my heart. You Know What? You really don't ever know what's around the corner...
