Disheartened

I haven't written in awhile and thought I would sit down after a few months and send my thoughts out into cyberspace.  Lately, (the past few months) I have felt disheartened and have not felt the need to sit down and share my feelings/thoughts.  These feelings that I had were so strong that they actually robbed me of something that I enjoy immensely.  It was after I very slowly found my way towards the end of my "funk" that I came to the realization that I was letting outside circumstances and just plain bad luck change me and who I am.  This does come back to a previous post of mine titled "dying dreams", which is exactly what I'm talking about here.  I was set up to succeed (which I was whole heartedly planning on), but God's idea of succeeding was very different than what I wanted.  I heard song lyrics say "He's not finished with me yet" and it hit me that just because my little plans didn't come true doesn't mean that God has greater plans far beyond my wildest imagination.
