mokristyn: I realized something today, 2 things actually. I'll get to that in a minute. There have been moments lately when I've found myself losing a little bit of faith, forgetting that things always work out, questioning things that I have no right doubting. God has a purpose for me, for everyone, but I think it's easy to forget that. The challenge lies in holding onto that purpose and releasing the reigns. I'm Type A. I love to be in control. I'm a planner. I like to know what's coming. So turning the reigns over to God is a constant challenge for me and one that is so rewarding when I truly do it. I've really had a hard time letting go of that control lately, but this weekend, God reminded me that things really do always work out. I just have to keep the faith. It's a trivial thing but I was so upset with Mother Nature when I looked at the forecast this weekend - rain all weekend! No one likes that for the first pool weekend of the summer! While the weather is really the least of it, it was as if God knew just how to get through to me. While laying on the chair by the pool in cloudy weather, the clouds began shifting and the sun came out. This peace came over me as I lay watching the clouds float by and these are the 2 things I realized. 1: as the clouds passed over , the thought came to me "this too shall pass". Anything and everything we're dealing with - it'll all pass; and 2: the sun represented the idea that all things work out for good. There are no exceptions to that rule. Thank you God for the message. I heard you loud and clear today. #openheart #mypathwayliesbeforeme #tyG #Godslovecoversusall
