Mary BourqueLife Is All A Perfect Plan - 

- Mary Bourque


Life is all a perfect plan. That is God’s plan. As I sit and wonder about the complexities of life, I came across a story. The story touched me hit a memory in my soul that I had to share. The story was about the girl surfer that got her arm bite off by a shark. She said something so profound that it was all in God’s plan. “Don’t fret about it just accept it.” What a wonderful attitude for a young girl to imagine. What wisdom for somebody so young. Why is it some of us get it at a young age and others have to be knocked in the head a few times. Do some of us not know the potential that the universe gives us if we so choose to believe? Do we think why is this happening to me and not see the gifts presented to us? We choose to see the dark clouds ahead instead of the silver lining below. 

Life would be so much easier if we didn’t see things as problems or obstacles along the way. Our life is a blessing in disguise if we choose to see it that way. Will we choose happiness or misery? Do you choose fear or choose love? This young woman surfer had such a profound insight she choose love. She believed it was her destiny to have her arm torn off so she can touch people. And that she has. Her unselfish acts since the accident gives us a lesson in true calling, true humanity. She donated a jacket to a homeless person in the cold of winter. It was like she was hit with a insight from the divine. Her spirit soured up and shines for all to see. She isn’t afraid to be who she is and the ridicule and jealously doesn’t bother her in the least.

So let’s take a lesson from this young woman. Live your life to the fullest be the best possible scenario of who you can be. Paint your picture with bright colors and deep textures. Don’t paint your picture with pain. Shine your light for all to see and don’t be afraid of where your destiny takes you. If you fall off the path just know it is a bubble in the way, pop that bubble and move forward. Your life will be fuller and richer with the knowledge you are yourself. Embrace each part of yourselves and bless each moment with love and peace and harmony.
