Brand New Day

Well, I woke up this morning (after hitting the "snooze" button 50 times) and decided that today is a new day. I have a text message from my mom that I saved, and I read it everyday. Here's what it says,

"Don't try not to care. Just try to go with the flow and wait. Enjoy the good, don't sweat the bad, and trust GOD not anyone else for the outcome. It's HIS timing, not yours. Also don't let circumstances make you a resentful person who hates people. Just be who you are and leave the rest to God. You're gonna be fine."

If only it was easy to implement these words. It all sounds so good in theory, but in reality, the most difficult thing to do is let go and surrender control. I read a quote the other day that said, "I never lost anything that I gave into the hands of God."

The theme of this season of my life is "waiting." I'm waiting for my future to unfold; I'm waiting on some ole boy; I'm waiting to see what God's going going to do in my life. Really, I'm just trying to figure out His will for my life, but I get so distracted. I am for sure a sinner, saved by grace, but I find it so hard to resist temptation sometimes, especially when I'm not 100% focused on God like I should be. I'm trying to refocus and reevaluate my life right now, so I know that I'm heading in the right direction. With so many life-changing decisions on my horizon, I have no choice but to be safely surrounded by God and His will for my life.

I'm out.
