There's No Such Thing as Mistakes

Whether it is my current dilemma with my foot, my bestie not finding her happily ever after till after 30 or being denied a position you want, I firmly believe there is no such thing as a mistake.  Or a coincidence for that matter.  There is a divine design and everything happens in the time and place it should.  One of the reasons things happen in a certain time or fashion is you have to be ready for them.  You have to be ready to accomplish the task, learn the lesson, embrace the event.  This means you have to be prepared.  My foot surgery happened when and how it was supposed to happen so that everything else in life could fall in place around it.  If I  was not working towards my Master's in Counseling I would have been less aware of the needs and wants of the differently abled.  I would not take as much away to help me in my practice later.  Had my surgery occurred earlier I probably would not have let my foot heal properly because I would have been too stubborn to stay off of it.  My independence was too strong, my interdependence has grown enough for this to be the optimal time for this event to occur.

Thus, the blessing I take away from today is my life has a purpose and a plan.  Nothing happens by mistake or coincidence rather it happens at the time it should, when I am ready or need it to.
