Oh how I long to be in control. Anyone else with me? I want things to be “just so.” I have thoughts, ideas, goals and dreams. Pretty good ones…I think. And when life doesn’t go according to plan, well, let’s just say I’m less than impressed, often disappointed and discouraged, and mostly crushed and deflated. Can you relate? Come on already! We put a lot of thought into these plans, right? Days, weeks, and in some cases, years. We’re at an all too familiar intersection AGAIN! You know, the one where we find ourselves in a head on collision with life circumstances we can’t control no matter how hard we try. No matter how grand our plan. Yes, there is pain at this crossroad, lessons to be learned, and resilience to be built. It’s here where you and I must remember to let go a little. Pray. Trust. Have faith that things will work out. Let life happen. Watch things unfold. And revisit what we can control.
