"Go with the Flow"

This is something that is kind of "new" to me... I AM A PLANNER! I like to be in control of things and myself and make things happen. I think this is a good quality in someone as long as it does not get OUT OF CONTROL.

My life as I know it can be a bit of a whirl wind... Work is busy and unpredictable sometimes, it's stressful and overwhelming too. Family can be all of these things also and not to mention all the day to day things that come with life...they can all get to be a bit much...But I have decided that I will not be a worrier or a fretter. God is in control of all these things and the more I can let go of and out in HIS hands, the less I have to worry or fret about or even mess with.

Each day I get up and say aloud...God, I give it ALL to YOU!

This is one of the things I think is so awesome about God. HE WANTS us to do that with him! He want's to take all our cares, worries, problems and issues and just give it all to him (he loves us that much!). Now if you are my Co-Workers, Friend or even my Family, you will never hear me say that to you...I love you and I care about you and I want to be there for you when you need someone, but I would never tell you "just give it all to me and I will take care of it" (it's not even possible for me to do that).

Is that not awesome of God? He wants us to give it all to him every time!!!

So I have finally come to the place where I am ABLE to do this and relax and feel great about giving it all away. Not feeling the responsibility to make everything work.
I feel like a new person. Honestly. And who am I kidding anyway...there is no way that I can be in control of half of the things life is going to throw my way. It is what it is.

One thing Cody always says and it's so true... "It will all work out and it will all be okay" And it always does! In the moment this is very comforting to hear, but I don't always say "Okee dokee" and go about my day and never think about it again.

Bottom line, I trust God completely. I can honestly say I DO! I trust him with every area and detail of my life. The more I worry means the less I trust him, and if I don't trust him then what does that say to God? THE one that created me and knows everything about me and continues to love me unconditionally no matter how little I give him in return...what does that say to him when I do not trust him?

So that is why I can "Go with the Flow" because I know that God is in control and everything WILL be okay, it will be better then okay, because it's not me that is in charge, It's God!
