"if" moments

this week, i experienced a lot of "if" moments.

if i weren't so naive....
if it wasn't for this person....
if he/she had told me sooner....
if he/she only knew the truth....
if he/she hadn't said anything at all....

during times like these, i always wonder, "man, God. why couldn't this happen or why did You let that happen?" many situations could've been avoided. heartaches could've been prevented. my mind would be free of these fruitless thoughts. sigh.

but as i question a lot of these "if" moments, i'm reminded that they're all according to God's perfect plan; everything happens for a reason and everything happens in His time. my role as a christian daughter is to accept it, thank Him for it, and move on. there's no point mulling over the past. what's done is done!!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -- Jeremiah 29:11
