A look through my eyes

The Curve in the Road

     I know that change is inevitable in life, and I try to prepare myself to accept whatever may come.  It's just the uncertainty of it all that tends to make me feel a bit crazy.  I like to know what's up ahead.  I like to have a plan.  I want to be prepared to zig when I need to zig, and zag when I need to zag.  But I find I'm in a place of needing to simply sit still...to wait.. and waiting isn't always easy, especially when change is on the horizon setting up a chorus of questions.

    It is during times like this that my faith is deepend, as my ability to release control of the situation to the Lord, and my trust in Him, is put to the test. After all, we walk by faith, not by sight.   Knowing what I need to do, and doing it are often two different things though.  Old habits die hard, so I must constantly put a check on my attitude and heart as I lean into my Lord and nestle down further into the palm of His hand.  I can't let the bumps and noisy clamor of change distract me from my decision to obediently wait. 

     Being still when change is on the horizon, isn't easy, but it is possible if I'm willing to be still and rest.  In chosing to do so, I won't be tempted to stand up, and so, I won't bump my head on the protective cover of God's grace.  Little by litte the anxiety is quelled in my spirit as I actively pursue doing nothing other than bowing my head in prayer.
