Obstacles?

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin – real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last, it dawned on me that these 'obstacles' were my life. 

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.  So treasure every moment that you have...  and remember that time waits for no one… decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.”
~Alfred D Souza

I like this quote.  There will always be something to overcome, something to reach toward, something to desire... I am looking forward to meeting the right person, I am excited for the day I finish school, the first day of my new job, the day I reach my weight goal, the day I get married, the day I adopt a child, etc. ...but Jesus is here with me today, revealing His heart in ways that are often more intimate than epic.  He loves me, His timing is perfect, and He is working out His plan.  So I am choosing to enjoy the journey with Him!  I'm praying for God's grace to fill me with radiant joy ("calm delight") and genuine peace, right here in the present.  =)
