I thought I would share what my "The Secret" daily calendar has to say:

"We are not able to see the bigger picture of our lives, but the Universe or the Creative Power can see it all. sometimes we think that something is right for us, but when it doesn't unfold the way we thought, we must have faith in the Universe that it is matching up all our inner desires and marrying them into every aspect of our lives."

I thought this is a great reminder for when things don't go our way. When I look back at the last few months when things have not gone my way....and then fast forward to now...the very thing that set me back, SET ME UP FOR A COMEBACK.  The things that seemed to be a trial, are leading me to my destination.  Things that seemed to be problems in fact opened up so many possibilities! 

I also think of the Bible and Romans 8:28: "All things work together for the good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose."
