Meant to Be - Steven Curtis Chapman




You may or may not be familiar with VeggieTales, but in my line of work, I share many of these videos with my class. I just got the newest one, that spins off the story of It's a Wonderful Life. Anyway, this song kinda spoke to me, reminding me that my God has a purpose and a plan for my life. The holidays are hard sometimes because they remind me of what I don't have. I get around family and see others who already happily have their own families, and I have to work hard to be content with where God put me. I'm meant to be here in Dillon loving on other people's children, and I guess right now, I'm meant to be single. One day I'll look back and see the beautiful puzzle pieces that make up my complete life and see how things fit together perfectly. For now though, I'll keep on trusting that God is working on me and will maybe one day fulfill the desires of my heart.

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Hebrews 13:5,6
