Daily ramblings

It's an odd feeling knowing that your life is going exactly where you want it to.

Why do I say that's odd?  Because if my life is going in the right direction now, that inherently means it was going in the wrong direction (at least periodically) for the last 22 years of my life.  See how that could be odd/upsetting/strange?

While it still feels weird, it also feels perfect.  It feels so perfect that I'll quote a movie that you're not expecting me to, The Exorcism of Emily Rose.  "...no matter what mistakes I've made in the past, at that moment,  I was exactly where I was meant to be.  Like I was on the right path."

My entire life feels like I am right where I need to be.  Amazing friends, a best friend that amazes me every single day, family, Savior, and a job (which I may or may not complain about too much--not everyone has a job they can complain about #blessed).  

For some reason, throughout the day today, my favorite Bible verse has been playing in my mind. 

Romans 8: 38-39

³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


This verse is my favorite, but it is also one that is the hardest to comprehend in my opinion.  What that says is NOTHING, not a single thing in the world, man-made or not, can SEPARATE us from the love of God.  The word separate is they key here.  It means that that love is here.  Right now, that love is here.  It doesn't come and go, it doesn't hide and show up only when we need it.  The love of God through Christ Jesus is there ALL DAY.

If that doesn't make your night, I'm not sure what will.
