Trusting God's Plan

[princess_nic]

Time for a new thread.

I know not everyone here believes in God, but I do think that most of us believe that there is a Higher Power that has plans for us.

Letting go of my illusion of control over my life has been one of the hardest lessons I have learned over the past 2.5 years. That and the dreaded "patience"!

This is an area that I still need to work on - hence, the title: to remind myself.

Love,
Nicola

Old thread

I'm first on the new thread!!!

Baileys and coffee this early!

Trust God, observe with your mind and follow your heart.

STBRG will be putty in your hands. (I figured I'd stay with the established hand theme. )

you are totally right nic, about the control issue. For so long I've tried to control the sitch and plan how things should fall in place, and have been terribly disappointed when they did not.

Wish I would remember the title of this song I heard yesterday, but one line I loved was "I should've started running long time ago".

Your title was wonderful to read this morning mamma.

Yes let's let go of things we can not control, of understand for that matter.

And Patience, (sigh) It's a virtue.

Have a wonderful Sunday

Steve -

Hope you enjoyed your morning coffee! And I'm not sure putty in my hands is a good thing...maybe something a little firmer. Seriously, though, I saw him for a few minutes on Thursday, and I think HE is flirting with ME now! Either that, or I'm totally clueless (always a possibility)...

Cat and Lissie -

The message and church this morning was about exactly this - submission. And I almost didn't go, since I overslept. It wasn't what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to - the only way God can give us something great is if we give Him what we have so He can work with it.

But why is that so hard??!!

Thanks for posting.

The $64,000 question.

I also like the tone of this thread and need to hear it over, and over, and over.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hugs,

It's so good to see you doing so well, Nic. We have both come such a long way from where we started!

Heard from the ex today. Completely unsolicited. Everytime I hear from or about him, it sets me back. Each time a little less.

WHat these people have done is wrong. ANd then no remorse, no reconciliation...

They have caused so much pain and don't seem to know, care or feel any themselves.

I'm so grateful that I have been able to rebuild my life.

I hate him. I hate all of them and all of the pain they have caused all the good people of the world. I forgive his soul, but tonight, him as a person, I hate.
