That which passes my understanding.

          Losing control is a scary thing. Saying "God, this life is yours. I will go where you lead." is risky. Believing and trusting despite the unknown is terrifying. Somehow, it will all be worth it. Someday. The scariest thing is that we will never understand why God chooses to do the things he does. He seriously does work in mysterious ways. But the trick is trust. Do you really trust God with absolutely everything? I thought I knew that answer. I thought I somewhat had things figured out. But then God threw me a curve ball, and showed me that I really don't know much at all... and let me tell you, that's not fun. at all. And I have a confession to make: I'm not perfect. Not even close. Not even a little. I'm a messed up, sinful, human. Anything in me that is remotely good comes directly from him. God is good. And another thing. God is faithful. Always has been and always will be. Someday I'll go into detail about how these thoughts came about, but not today. But I must say the phrase "Easier said than done" has taking on a whole new meaning.
