The middle of my story

Life.It has not turned out how I had imagined it would.
I suppose the differences between my dreams and the reality of what is, have been taking a toll lately. I had been patient, trying to follow the path I knew the Lord had me on for a reason. I was hopeful of my dreams turning out. Sure, they were taking longer than I had planned, but I still kept dreaming, hoping, that my life, how I had always imagined it would come true.
I can appreciate a change in plans, but lately its been a bit rough. I am on a path, making a new story, finding new dreams...or at least in the process of trying to.
"The story you write can actually be better than the one you envisioned, but you need to have the right expectations. You have to remain flexible, and you can't expect everything to go perfectly." John C. Maxwell

I am currently reading The Difference Maker by John Maxwell...it has challended my perspective, and quite possibly, lifechanging, bringing a small ray of light :)
