Just this weekend I did one of those Facebook quizzes (I don't put much stock in these) about your word for the new year. What do you know - my word was change. It seems to be the story of my life.
I spent the weekend with my son and boyfriend on a college visit for my son to look at one more school. It was a vivid reminder of the upcoming changes and the possibilities for tomorrow. If I could write the script of my life I would just ink in each step for me and my kids and all my relationships to go exactly as I would like in the time I would like. Regretfully, I can't do that. I can't predict or even really plan the tomorrows. It would be so less scary if I could.
What I can do, is pray. That's really all I can do. I do have to make steps to move forward and try to guide my kids wisely as they choose the next location for the next phase of life but I can't make those choices for them. I can try to make sure I have all the necessary things in line for the next phase of my life but I am not guaranteed tomorrow.
“But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.” Micah 7:7 NIV
Natalie Grant has a beautiful new song called King of the World. If you haven't heard it you should. It's a great reminder of who controls our lives. Not us and certainly not me. Only God.
God gave me a beautiful sunrise this morning and it was a vivid example of His hand at work. A new day, a new start. Each step with Him makes the changes less scary.
