Feeling Left Behind?

Does it ever feel like you have been left behind?  That life is moving on without you?  Have you often felt, since your spouse left, that you have been missing out on something?  I will admit that at first I did think I was missing out on so much, but as time went on, I realised that what I was missing was the kind of love that only comes from our Heavenly Father.  Everything else is merely trivial.

I was sitting at home this morning, reading through my Facebook news feed and read comment after comment from a few of my pastor friends and the conferences they would be attending this weekend and I will admit that I was bummed.  I totally felt "out of the loop" and remembering the good times of old when I used to attend all of those same conferences and really felt as though I was missing out.  Missing out on what you say?  I am not even sure... I just felt like "being in the loop" seemed like such a better place to be!  And it is...but it depends on Who's Loop You Are In!!  However, God was working behind the scenes in a way that I could not have ever imagined.

This very same weekend is a conference being held at my home church.  A dear friend made a way for both my mother and I to attend.  We enjoyed a wonderful roast beef dinner and a wonderfully anointed word from the Lord.  So here I was all day, bummed about something I had no control over and with my human eyes, I only saw what I thought I was missing.  Which in all actually the only thing I would have probably been missing was a lot of sleep!!  Lol.

I know you have heard this a million times over your lifetime, but you never know just what God is doing behind the scenes in your life.  He's a big God, with a huge heart and He only wants the very best for you.  Before I was... I was.  He knew me before I born on this physical earth, and He will know me long after.
