Day 15

         I am able to see the good in every situation

We don't know why many things happen. There are many good things in the world as well as many bad things  but I believe everything happens for a reason. 

A couple of years ago, my husband and I went to buy a house. The initial process seemed easy enough but soon after strange obstacles kept cropping up until we were no longer able to purchase the house. 6 months we pursued the purchase of the house and it had flopped! I was devastated. This house was everything we wanted and needed and it had gone. I would love to say I was positive throughout the process but I was upset. This house was for us to live in when we got married. Everything seemed to have failed in June, we were getting married in July. At that moment for me, there was no good in situation. Then, a week after finding out that we could no longer buy the house, we discovered another house. A month later (a few days after the wedding) we moved into our new home. I don't know why we had so many obstacles when trying to buy the first house, but I know that there was good. Firstly, the second house was a lot better. Secondly, it saved us paying a mortgage for a house we weren't going to live in until after we got married. 

There was good in that situation but I didnt see it. Seeing the good isn't just about positive thinking but it motivates to get through to the other side of our struggles.

What do you see?
