Keep Looking..
Seems like every time I send my children to another room to get something for me, they look ONLY where I say the item may be and no more. Just yesterday, I asked my younger daughter to bring me a book from my bedroom. I described the book and places she could look. Still, she returned to me empty handed just moments after her quest. "I didn't see it" she claimed.
This morning, as I began sweeping, the broom hit a large object. What do you know, the book I requested played hide-and-go-seek just behind the dust ruffle on my bed. Had my daughter bent her back just a little, she would have realized the book was right under her nose.
Have you ever been looking for something: keys, cell phone, a breakthrough? Many times when we're searching for things they are right under our noses. If we hunt enough times without luck though, we assume that what we seek cannot be found - maybe it just doesn't exist.
Blessings always come but may not be packaged exactly like we expect (0r where we thought they might show up). Much like a locomotive, we may have to slow down before we can successfully switch tracks. It can feel like a total loss; like our feet are bound, our dreams stifled.
So many have turned away from the right path or given up on their dream because they just couldn't find that stroke of luck, that boost of confidence or a promotion to some next level in life. If you ever find yourself in that position, don't give up. That which you seek may be just beneath the surface waiting for you to dig a little bit deeper, stretch a bit further, to hold on to hope a little bit tighter.

Don't assume it's not there because it isn't where you expected it to be
