I don’t like it at all when things aren’t going the way I planned or envisioned them.
It’s worse when I know that I can’t do anything about the situation.
It’s just the idea of not being able to take charge of a situation the way I thought I would that’s frustrating to me.
Call me a control freak or whatever…I just don’t like it.
Do you like it? I don’t think you do, not many people do.
But this seems to be the situation with life sometimes and you really can’t help it.
You plan things, you make plans as you start your day, you make plans for your future, you make plans to go to college, you make plans to eat delicious meals, in fact…you make plans for almost if not everything whether consciously or not.
But at times, it doesn’t happen that way.
It just doesn’t go on that exact track and you think these plans fell through.
These situations could create a lot of anxiety and worry for you.
You realize that you have to find a way to help yourself when situations like this occur because you don’t want to live your life with anxiety and constant worry about your plans falling through.

♦ When you find yourself worrying a lot or when you begin to feel like you’re losing control of everything in your life…You can choose to sit in the sadness of the situation or you can choose to soak yourself in wonder.
You’re thinking, What wonder? What is the wonder?
It’s simple, Wonder is everything and everyone around you.
It’s all the beauty around you that you don’t even notice.

♦Take some time to look at the little plants around you, notice how they weren’t there about a month ago and now they’re out, so green and fresh with the tips of the leaves looking so sharp.
♦Look closely, see how detailed the veins on the leaves are, and notice how close you had to get to see those veins because the most beautiful things are hidden in the smallest details.
♦What about those huge trees in the plantation in your backyard?
I’m talking about those big ones you usually go to take shade under during hot afternoons, you know…those that your old neighbours go to spend their cool evenings while playing board games🎲🎲.
Do you see how big they are? Have you noticed how they never die off year after year even when their leaves are yellow and fall, yet somehow they renew themselves after a while and freshen up again?
Isn’t that amazing?
♦Look over at the person next to you as you read this post, don’t let them catch you staring though🤣🤣.
Allow yourself to soak in their beauty, I mean it must have taken God a good amount of time to put such beautiful details into one masterpiece.
You see their eyes, they are a deep brown…I bet you never saw that before.
Oh boy, those cheekbones fit perfectly right?
Notice their handprint, it’s unique, different from yours and still beautiful.
Look at that one that just walked past… look at how swiftly in motion those legs move, wow!
Do you ever feel the little growing pains in your body and how they fade?
♦Let yourself feel, genuinely feel how everything you’re noticing right now is making your heartbeat.
Take deep belly breaths.
Soak in all the beauty around you…everything God has created.
♦You couldn’t have forgotten the skies, no way!
Look at it, it’s wonderful how they go from a clear blue and white in the day to dark blue with the tiny shiny stars spread all over them at night.
♦Don’t hold back. Allow yourself to be truly amazed at the wonder of all of it.
Fantastic things are unfolding around you all day long.
For a minute, forget all that’s bothering you and just soak yourself in how alive you feel right now.
It’s a good feeling, right?
Do you want to feel like this more often?
Then do this more…it’s not hard at all, is it?
There’s so much beauty in Jesus, I mean He created all this!!
Be amazed at the tiny fragments that make up the big things.
♦Allow yourself to enjoy how the Holy Spirit heals your heart and whispers words of love to you right now.
Feel how He is fully involved with your total being, how He never leaves and is included in every moment.
Enjoy this moment, because this moment right now is your life.
It might not be the most comfortable situation though but trust that God’s heart for you is set right and in those times that life is not going as planned, He’s going to work everything out for your good because He promised that and He fulfils all his promises.
♦Life already is hard and it’s so easy to see everything we lack and get upset over it.
♦While in the wait, as God takes you through the process of making everything beautiful, one of the delightful things to do is to magnify what you are already blessed with, which is not hard to find because you’ve been blessed with everything around you…The biggest blessing is your very loving father, Jesus.
♦You have Jesus, you have all you need.
He completes you.
Rest in his arms today.
MAY YOU NEVER LOSE THE WONDER.
Wide-eyed and mystified, staring at the beauty of your KING AND ALL HE HAS MADE.
