SOCS:Fate

stream of consciousness Sunday

Writing Prompt:
What's your take on fate? Does everything happen for a reason? 
Are we in control of our own destiny?

Fate. Meant to be. Faith. Pre-planned destiny by a high power. Changes. Curves in the road. Stumbling blocks. Pick yourself up. Start all over again. Free will. Choices. Willingness to accept things as they come.

Because of my faith and belief system, I believe God has a plan for my life.The wonderful thing is that He, also, gives us control of our destiny by choosing to  follow the path set out for us or by taking detours, u-turns, pit stops and hurdles along the way. I believe there is a reason and purpose behind life's actions. Our reactions to them will determine our level of growth, increase in knowledge and life's path from that point on. There are specific actions I can pin point where I know I could have done something differently and would have set my life on a totally different course.  However, I accept the choices I have made and embrace the learning lessons and results that I have today. I can control my destiny but I choose to pray and rely on a higher power to help me with my decisions.  It took some time and lots of hard-learned lessons for hard-headed me to realize that all-knowing, all-powerful Him could do a whole lot better being in control.

Be Blessed Divas and remember to be a blessing to others!
