A friend asked me yesterday if I was happy.

I was able to answer “yes” confidently.

It’s funny though, I had a five year plan. And I’ve failed miserably.

I’m living off less than a fourth of what I was making in Orlando. I am 8000 miles away from the majority of my close friends and family. I live three hours from a mall. I swore I’d never live on a farm.

But, I wouldn’t change any of it. I get to live out having to completely trust Him for provision every month. I’m part of something I’m passionate about. I’m where I feel like God wants me for this season and am able to witness first-hand all He is doing here. And even though it’s $10 in gas to get to the grocery store, at least I have a fabulous view on the way there.

God is good. His plans are far greater than mine. He’s blown my five year plan out of the water. And as tough as it is sometimes, I wouldn’t trade this season for anything.
