Life...
Life is good. Mmmm...life for me right now has a lot of unknowns. I can't say that I really like the feeling of not knowing what is really going on, or what is going to happen. Who am I kidding, I don't like it at all. However, over the last couple of weeks I have learned very well to just let life unfold as it should. And I mean that in all areas...jobs, kids, dating, etc.
It's going to unfold regardless of what I do or by the kind of attitude I choose to have about all that is circling around me, but I guess I just have come to the conclusion that God is God, and He's the only one who's going to have the final say anyways. I can choose to have the faith I should that what He ultimately brings about in my life will be for the best, or I can choose to be upset when things don't go the way I would like them to. And it truly is a choice. So, I've just been really trying to wrap my heart, mind and will around that. I don't pray that my will is His will, but just the opposite. And that I may have complete peace in that. Not only peace, but excitement for that! Has God ever done something small? No! We may see it that way, but we would, because we can't understand it all. But He's God, and THAT is really all that matters.

Oh the roller coaster of life, I know you are in great hands. You are a wonderful model of faith. Thanks

God is in control - of everything! What a comfort to know we really aren't in control of anything (though sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking we are!).
Just what I needed to hear today!! What a great attitude.
Life is up and down for sure but God is always steady.
Great advice.
When we let God be God (as He already is, of course), what power is unleashed in our lives?
When we trust Him for the outcome . . . . we may not dream in the sorts of colors he has in mind.
What an amazing God.
Blessings,
Linda
