A Reason for Everything by Jeremy Passion

After drying my hair, I sat on my chair and realized i had A LOT of ingrown hair on my legs. Gross right? So i decided to pluck them. But as i was plucking each stubborn ingrown hair from my leg, Passion's song: A Reason for Everything started playing on my itunes. With a blank mind I just listened to the lyrics and a thought hit me: There really is a reason for everything.

I feel like i forget so easily that there is a reason for everything. And that reason ,whether i know what the reason is or i don't know the reason, I know that there is definitely a reason to everything all in accordance to God's plan. This was the thought that came in mind after hearing the song..  Especially after moving into the dorms and the big apple, I notice many of the students are not comfortable including myself. And that is totally understandable because it isnt the house that we've lived in for the last 18 years of our lives. But I think because of this discomfort and new environment there are many grumpy and unhappy students. One of which are my dorm mate. Not to bad mouth her or anything like that because she is a great person. But I would definitely say that she complains about things. To be honest, it did irritate me in the beginning, even up until tonight before i heard this song but after hearing this song and really thinking about what Passion is singing about, my eyes were opened to see in a new perspective.

I could complain about how much my room mate complains but what is that doing? In the end I'm basically going in circles of never ending complaints! So I decided to take a new perspective of this thanks to Passion's song.

So i decided to shift my mindset to being positive and thankful. I began to think how thankful i am to have a room mate like mine who is very clean, friendly, and fun to hang out with. And that even though in the beginning i was kind of second thinking my reasoning to room with her, I realized that there is a reason why i was even placed in a situation to have been connected with her in the first place! And I am thankful for that reason. I know that God placed me in that time, in that place, on that day to be introduced to my room mate and I thank him for that.

I just thank the Lord for just watching over me and letting everything happen for a reason. Although at the time that reason may not make sense to me or may even be the exact opposite of what i anticipated, I need to continually remind myself that God indeed does have a plan for me and his plans are all aligned to HIS perfect timing and not mine. Thank you Lord!
