What am I so worried about?  All my days are ordained by Him!  Read the rest of the chapter here…anyway…He knows what is going to happen in my life.  He has already planned it…and guess what?  He didn’t ASK me!?!?!?  No, the He knew what my life was going to be like before I was formed, so if He already knows and I am His child, WHY am I worrying about anything?  Mainly, because I am human, but I am trying to take comfort in the fact that He already knows…He already has a plan…He is in CHARGE.  And in LETTING GO – I am probably more useful to Him than if I try to hang on, than if I try to “fix it,” than if I worry and fret about it…whatever “it” is on any particular day.  So, once again, here I am trying to let go, trying to give it up, trying to allow Him to work in and through me…without having too much of ME in the picture!

Do you have a problem with this or is it unique to me only? 🙂

This thought comes to me from Kristen Armstrong’s book work in progress An Unfinished Woman’s Guide to Grace .  In an early chapter she talks about how our confidence builds when we begin to rely on His promises…”we know we can’t make it on our own or by using our old methods, so we go to the Source.” (page 38)
