let go and let God

a good friend of mine and i were talking about faith today. she needed it because she was hovering over some potentially difficult circumstances. and of course, she's fine now. she told me she cried when she got the news she got, hurried and got her Bible and just started reading.

it got me thinking about all aspects of my life. what's been in the works for a while, what seems to have figured itself out over time (like writing books for instance), and what's new and hasn't exactly found a finish line yet.

the outliers, the things that have not been resolved, are hard for me to stomach. if you have learned anything about me in this blog, you know i like neat and tidy...maybe not my room all the time, but my head, my conscience, my heart, my office :) patience isn't always my problem, but today it is.

i just want some of this stuff to WORK OUT! partly so i can check it off my list, partly so i can believe in myself a little. (oh and for the record, my books are not what i'm talking about at the moment, although i want them to work out of course...i will write until/even after they do)

SO, this is where i have to have a mini pep talk, prayer time. i pray for patience, for peace, because i know down to the depths of my soul that i will be taken care of. i don't doubt that for one second. but it's this in between time where i fidget. it's like i want to know the ending...just know the ending so i can deal with it, whatever it is. the waiting game is the worst game in the world.

but that's what faith is is it not? i was promised to be taken care of, not that my life, the days, the minutes, the hours, would be easy peasy. i was promised to be held, not that my life would be perfect and everything would go the way I planned.


We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)      -Romans 8:24-25  (NLT)


 obviously, i need to read the bible more often. sweet dreams.
