....be final.
notes...
my girlfriend was bullying me in my home
so I grabbed my purse and left.
It was almost dark & my emotions were over the moon
as I climbed into the John Deer tractor to drive away...
...then I woke up.
Stepped out into the dark morning to feed the birds,
sunk my feet into the
rain soaked grass and thought about trying to drive a
tractor as a get-away rig, and laughed out loud.
...tearing down the walls of control
building the walls of faith...
trusting the creator.
relinquish your desire for control
it's scary to let go
but walk in faith with God
& He promises to support
you every step of the way
release your need to direct circumstances
trust
all you need to do is believe
and receive
when things are difficult
those are the moments
you find out whether you
really trust that God knows best
to feel safely rooted
no matter what you encounter
be honest with yourself
by admitting how you feel
part of pain's roll is to make you
more honest with yourself
about the things
you can't control
it helps you become more open
and receptive
truth can be discovered once you
stop fighting against the natural forces
God is the best teacher
the more you turn things over to Him
the better it goes
your answers are inside you
you make your future anew every day
life is a mix of fate & free will
with a dash of mystery
"When you knock, ask to see God...
not any of the self-appointed intermediaries."
~Thoreau~
be well...
