Seasonal Allergies?

Ecclesiastes 3:1  - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

I truly believe in God's timing.  When I look back over the course of my life, I see the ways He has worked at the most opportune moment for the maximum benefit.....so many near misses where He intervened and so many beautiful occasions that came when I needed them most.

The problem with that is that hindsight is 20/20 and for the present time, I desperately need some GLASSES!  8-)     just no rose colored glasses for me...... been there, done that!

Or do I?  Maybe my problem is not that I can't see but maybe I'm trying to see much further away than I need to.  I am a planner by nature.  I'm always looking ahead and trying to figure out the easiest way to get there.  Why haven't I learned by now that the easiest road is not always the best?  It's the high road that takes you to the most wonderful places and the high road is not easy to navigate.

I think my problem is that it is not traveling season any longer.  I have been on a journey and it's time to rest.  However, I'm having an incredibly hard time winding down.  I keep anticipating what's next instead of just going with the flow.  And then there are those stupid emotions that come into play.....  they just keep clouding my head and prohibit me from resting.  I need some type of antidote because it is becoming painfully obvious I'm dealing with some serious seasonal allergies in my life.

Life is good. I am right where I am supposed to be.  God knows what He is doing and has my back - even when these seasonal allergies get the best of me.  Sometimes there is an itch and He understands when I scratch it.......   He's just there reminding me that scratching will only make a bigger scar.  He's there ready to apply the Benadryl.  He's there, seeing me through all my sneezes, runny noses and watery eyes.  He is my antidote.  But I'm one of the worst patients.....
