Humbled. Small. Surrendered.
Acknowledging there is much I don't know, so very little control I have.
The uncertainty can drive me to fear, anxiety in a heartbeat. What if.....?
It can paralyze, restrict, preoccupy.
Or I can fall face down and speak to the God of heaven and earth, crying Abba Father, asking "let thy will be done" as I make my requests, then draw comfort and peace that surpasses understanding from the acceptance of my own personal limitations to know, to foresee, to protect, to provide and His Almighty Power to do all of the above, graciously, miraculously, beyond my every expectation, as He sees fit. Learning to trust, turn everything over, it is indeed liberating.
I have to say, it was some of the best advice I have ever received.
I had no idea what I was missing.....

Beautifully put!
I can honestly say that I completely know, understand and love everything you stated. (-:
OK, cousin by marriage. I have to ask you... how do you continue to stick yourself out there when you know people are going to be rude, and say thoughtless, ridiculous things that hurt your feelings and make you want to scream and shout and tell them that quite frankly it's none of their business and really, you didn't ask their opinion. You have mentioned this several times, and I'm always so proud of you for sticking to your guns. But I think I always assumed that it was people that didn't know you well, or who don't have a close relationship with God so they don't understand that you do what you gotta no matter what when He's telling you to. I mean, I read your blog, and it doesn't surprise me, even a little bit. It's who you are are you're doing what you're told. So my very short question in a very long paragraph is what do you say to the people who feel they have to make comments about your decisions even when you didn't ask... especially when they are people who are supposed to be some of your closest friends? As you can tell, it's been a rough week, but I was just curious as to how you handle this little situation... Thanks for letting me vent. :)
