Rough Weekend

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want

Came across that quote today and was slightly confused. Granted it was the morning after I had gotten five hours of sleep and had just been to an amazing church service, so to say the least I was a bit distracted.

I thought about it some more after talking with people today and realized I did not get what I wanted this weekend. I had it al planned out and my girls and I were in for an amazing weekend. Yet life happened. Things were on different days and some parties ended earlier than expected. Also the one fun party we went too ended badly for me because Matt got out of hand.

So when I sit here and re-read this quote I can't help but smile at how true it can be. I didn't get what I wanted out of the weekend, but that is just me. I have to think about everything and everyone and then look at what God was trying to teach me through this. I feel like lately I am learning a lot in my life and it is definitely not by getting my way. It is through the tough times when I experience life and God as pure as they come.

I am so glad that I don't always get what I want because most of the time what I want isn't what is best for me.
