Have you ever boarded the
What If
train?
It starts with a thought
about a reality in your life
that you are facing
or
will have to face~
and then it happens
as all the worst case scenarios
start flooding into your brain
as you begin your ride on
the
What if
train.
And it is never a smooth ride,
because the
What ifs
get bigger & get worse
as
fear, worry, anxiety, & hurt
become your traveling buddies.
The
What ifs
turn into the
Now whats
taking you back on the train again
headed to that not-so-good place.
Do you have a What if?
But
What if
you and I
just let the
What if
train
pass by
without boarding it...
because the
What ifs
are just that~
the
What ifs
that haven't happened & that may never happen,
so why
think as though they will.
Well,
what is
pretty funny as I am pondering this,
I just heard the whistles of the passing train go by.
Hmm..
okay God
I get it,
as a smile is on my face
because
that is what I have to do~
just let the
What if TRAIN
pass by,
because it is
His train
that I board
as
He always takes me to
the perfect place
that is
far away from the
What ifs
because
Who He is
trumps
every
What if.
His train
takes you & takes I
to places
where
the
What ifs
are not the
worst case scenarios
because
He is
the best case scenario
when you & when I
Put Him in Our Story

"So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever."
