Everything Happens For A Reason

Often times we wonder why does certain situations occur. Most of the time we do not have an answer. We have to understand that everything has a purpose. When I was getting ready to enter the draft, I had several lingering injuries, some that required surgery. I received no invite to the combine nor did I have any private visits set up. I began to question everything in life and wonder why was I not receiving the attention I thought I deserved. The reason why that happened was because of the injuries. When you go to the combine you have to get X-rays and MRIs on your entire body. If I would have went to the combine or had visits then the teams would have found out about the injuries and that would have been a red flag for me. At the time I did not understand that. It wasn't until I had finished my first year with the Steelers that I realized what a blessing it was that I did not attend the combine. We will not understand what God is doing while we are in the present but we must have faith and believe that it is in our best interest. Something is happening in your life right now that you do not understand but you have to realize there is a blessing waiting on the other side. Maybe you lost your job, but God has a better job on the horizon. Maybe you and you partner broke up, God has a better person out there waiting for you. Do not get discouraged, everything is in the hands of God.
