i'm really glad...

that God gives us what we need, and not what we want--or think we want.  if the second were true, i'd probably be really unhappy and miserable and...not who God created me to be.  so, i'm thankful for the "no's" and for the "my grace is sufficient for now" and the situations that don't work out, because when better things come around that do, it reminds us that life is crazy and difficult and beautiful and messy and....divine.  a divine plan.
