Sometimes we have what we believe are 'big dreams' for the future, but God at times has an even greater vision for us. It's a good feeling to realise that the life you are living is a 'purpose-driven' one. All the choices and sacrifices you made, the experiences you had-both good and not so good- were just a part of the process. And that every circumstance that you overcome, rife with trials though it may be, was just a stepping stone on the path which leads to the right direction.
I am compelled therefore, to give thanks to the Almighty for past, present and future successes. Even in the midst of financial paucity, I can truly declare, that I am richly blessed : )
