Letting God take control of everything in your life can be REALLY scary, and I'm not just saying that. I struggle with this daily, and fail most of the time. It's extremely difficult to not have control of what's going to happen day to day, and as much as I like to think that I can control my life, I really can't in the end. Trusting God to make everything work out has been a HUGE struggle over the last year and a half for me. I know what I want to happen, and for some weird reason I think that I can control everything, when in reality, I can't, but GOD can.
"...trusting God means learning to let go of each moment so I am free to fully inhabit the next one. There is simply no call for me to try to control people or outcomes. Someone far better is already on that job." - John Ortberg
So, I guess I meant to post this right before New Years, but I'm kind of glad I didn't. I was going through my drafts earlier, and found this post. I think at this point in my life, I basically knew what was coming, even if everyone else didn't, but I'm stronger because of it. Reading this has been an amazing reminder, especially with OGN coming in 2 days, but more blogs about THAT later!!
