Yes, exactly Zaica! God is good, there is a Spanish phrase which has helped me so much. It goes “Dios si yo alguna vez pierdo las esperanzas ayúdame a recordar que tus planes son mejores que los míos.” In English it would translate to “God if I ever lose hope help to remind me that your plans our better than mine.” And yes, our ego makes us think what we want is what we need, when it is not necessarily the case. I know for certain if my ex had not done what he did I would not have opened my eyes to the inner wounded child I had deeply buried years ago. You see, whenever a “chaotic” event comes up it is for us to look within and ask “why does this hurt? What is in me that makes this event so painful?” Maybe we were abandoned as children by one of our parents. Maybe we never felt we belonged in school. There are so many factors we can start to look at and begin to heal. Yes it is a pretty gut wrenching way to heal but sometimes our ego needs to be tamed in this manner hehe 😉 God loves those who are grateful even if they don’t get what they asked for ♥
