Providence

Providence- a manifestation of divine care or direction. That being said I can now tell you my newest amazed moment in reverence of the awesome universe in which we live: Providence is abundant to thankful hearts.

Recently I had a very interesting conversation with a good friend in which I was told that I always get what I want. Reaction one- well duh i'm a beloved important part of the universe I should get what I want. ((Talk about personality!)) A few well earned giggles and reaction two- I don't always get exactly what I want but i do enjoy what I am given. In all things be thankful and the universe will provide... this lesson continue to show up over and over through out my weekend.

Saturday I lay bored on my couch wishing more than anything that i could go for a hike, meet some new people, and just go have fun in general. My usual hike person is at work until ten :( Maybe I'll motivate myself into a walk but then another friend texts me she's having a cookout and there's no chance i'm getting out of coming over. Okay cool it's a thirty minute walk to her house that makes up for the hike. Of course my sister flips out- there's no way you're walking etc... so i end up getting a ride with her the whole way bummed out about missing a walk on such a pretty day that is now over cast. Still I'm about to have a great meal we can bring the food inside if it rains so i'm staying bouncy. Reminding myself to just be thankful i'm not still bored at home.

I walk around the back of the house and the most adorable guy is standing there surrounded by ten people of which i know maybe three. Two of which try to introduce me to the cute guy who spends the rest of the day checking me out :) The party starts to die down a little early and i'm wondering if i'll be back in bored mode even though i had such a fun day. once again providence shines and before i can get in trouble flirting my cousin texts me. He lives ten minutes away so i walk there from the party. we watch a pretty good movie. Walk back hike accomplished. 20 minutes in an area i'm not used to seeing in the spring very often.

Bonus cute guy forgot his hat and we ended up meeting on the empty back porch. We ended up talking for about an hour before going our seperate ways. Two hours of cleaning up and giggles with my girlfriend and i'm gonna have to rate this a pretty great saturday.

So all in all I did get what i wanted. It wasn't exactly how i'd planned it but it really was just what i needed. However, it's amazing to be reminded that the universe takes care of you when u just go with the flow. Just be open and thankful and happiness will follow.
