Being grateful in the moment !!!!

So often many of us (especially me) are guilty of being ungrateful in the moment. I say this because I find myself always worrying about what is to come instead of realizing that all of my needs are currently being met.

I am a person whose mind constantly races and I constantly think about what is to come. For example, I remember moving into my first apartment and on the first day wondering what I was going to do once my lease was up. Another example would be when I began my graduate degree my immediate thought was what I would pursue for post graduate work.....

I've realized that I am a person who always likes to be in control and "ready" for whatever. But if its one thing that I have learned in the past year it's that I'm not in control no matter how hard I try.

One thing I know for sure is that I need to simply surrender and trust the process. Though I may not always understand what is going on and why. I know and believe that God has a plan for my life. And while I'm investing time in worrying about what that process will entail I'm missing out on the many opportunities and precious moments surrounding me.
