If it's meant to be....

For three years now our life has been one heck of a roller coaster ride. Between a still birth, job losses (2), schooling, new baby, flooding, rebuilding, etc. our lives feel like we live in a snow globe and every time things begin to calm down some one shakes us!
I am trying to put my trust in the old adage "if it's meant to be it will be" but I gotta admit it hasn't been as easy to do for a few months now. I mean I wouldn't want a perfect life that would be boring but maybe one with a little less shaking... Do you beleive in this adage? DO you trust that life will be what it is supposed to be or is it just away of saying don't worry about it?

U sure have been down on your luck but i hope things start looking up for u.It sure doesn't do any good to worry about things but i have never learned how to do that. They say there is a reason for everything that happens but it is hard to take sometime.

I usually am the one who can find the good in things. Though losing the baby I wasn't able to... the flood I did but it was hard to do..

I do believe in the adage "if it's meant to be it will be" but then I also believe in Murphy's law and afew things like that too. Karma comes into play too. Life will be what it is supposed to be and who knows who figures it all out. I am an agnostic so I question alot of the rules of religion and such. I think we all have a hand in it more than we think we do too.

Murphy and his laws need to kiss my tush..lol
. Some one seems to quote that adage to me at least once a week. My Grandmother told me about two weeks ago " Baby if it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have luck at all" and it seems so true lately!

I love that saying. Fits me to a tee. And seems to fit you as well. Dear ole Murphy. Ya know there's an entire site dedicated to him?

Yes I believe in that sayings. I also believe that everything has a purpose and God will never give us trials we can't handle. I never want a perfect life too because life will be just plain without problem. Just imagine life as black and white when it is just plain. Anyway, each of us has a fair share of what is life to offer. What is important is that we never lose our hopes. Remember than there's no rpoblem bigger than God. So tell your problems "I have a Bigger God!" and "this too shall pass."

Not all of our roller coaster rides have been downs. We have a healthy baby who we had after our still born, we rebuilt as I said which was a series of loop de loops. We depended on our church a lot over the last year but trust in any one or thing has been hard for me since day one of my life..

I like the saying but I go with just don't worry about it. Things will happen good and bad nothing is every prefect or happens to the plans or liking to a T. I just live in the now and deal with the now as it comes. I don't think someone is trying to do things to me. Every action we take has a consequence to it some are good and some are bad some of the consequences aren't by our own fault but just the way life is.
