It'll be okay, focus on your long-term goal.

So we dont have any lettuce to go on our BLT's...It'll be okay.
I can't get back to Kenya right now...It'll be okay.
My mom's in the hosital for the nth time...It'll be okay.

3 things I can think of(obviously the 1st one isn't a big deal, but it's real life haha) that might not be ideal situations, but it'll be okay. This phrase has been going through my head a lot lately. Even with little things like no lettuce or "we might be late"...it'll be okay. God just keeps reminding me with everything that goes on in life...it'll be okay Ashley. Don't worry. It'll be okay.

So my dad and I were able to have lunch together the other day at a chineese restaurant. And of course after the meal comes a fortune cookie. So we opened our cookies and my dad threw his at me and said, "I think I got yours." It read, "Focus on your long term goal." Laying in bed that night I thought about that fortune again. What is my long term goal? What do I need to do to reach that goal? What's the next step I need to take? My long term goal is to be standing in heaven in front of my heavenly father and here the words "well done good and faithful servant." So what am I going to do to get to that point?

I believe God is preparing me for what he has for me to do in Africa. I cannot wait to hear those 6 word in heaven. That will truely be worth everything I'm going through on earth. So when things in my life might not being going the way I'd like them to, I need to remember..."It'll be okay, focus on your long-term goal."
