Welcome!   5-15-23

Letting go;

We all have an idea of the way we want things to go, but when they don't?  

Question; when those things aren't working the way we, in our mind, imagined, are we stopping and paying attention to the situation surrounding our situation? Are we saying, no, that's not the way-that's not how I imagined, x y and z, to go! I wanted a b and c! 

Truth be told, in my life, that is exactly the case. I know beyond a reasonable doubt that the open door my husband and I walked through was a God door. However, the timing of everything was not the timing I expected, or wanted. 

We are in the last stages of our last big project, we are closing walls and putting everything together, I am beyond grateful! I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. 

About the 3rd or 4th month into the project things, (timing wise) definitely wasn't going as I wanted or expected. Seemingly at almost every turn something was going wrong that neither my husband nor myself expected. Well, he may have, but not to the decree behind the walls exposed. I felt helpless knowing nothing about how to help, and my husband needed help that I could not give him. Several times I walked way from the situation, shed a few tears and called on Holy Spirit to bring the know how back to my husbands remembrance, Holy Spirit always came through. It was a stressful situation for him, and me my thought was, "my God, what did we get ourselves into?" 

There were many times I had to let go and realize, God knew what we would be facing with every situation.  He knows the timing of everything. I had to be content in knowing even though I wasn't in control, He is! Even though things are not being done in my timing, God knew the timing they would be done in. 

I had to let go!   It made every unpredictable, maddening situation easier, knowing  our situation didn't take God by surprise. 

Once again I have been reminded that even though we can't always count on people, we can ALWAYS count on God! 

Blessings!
