Day 161 - Still moving forward

Having faith and learning to trust in your faith really changes your life. You know when you are already in a really difficult situation and you feel like you have a grasp of that situation and then suddenly something unexpected hits you from left field and shakes things up? That happened today. A big extra question mark hit us. It is something that I have no control over but something that could totally disrupt the foundation of our current problem. I wish I could elaborate on it more, but I can't (it's not life threatening or anything like that). What I can say is that a few years ago something like this would have taken me over the edge. The extra circumstance always kind of topples us over, doesn't it? Just the not knowing or the no control would have caused me anxiety and daily panic. And, while I am a little anxious about it I have learned over and over again that God always has plans in motion and while it may seem like a possible catastrophe or disappointment, it is most likely a blessing in disguise. You just don't know and what I have learned is that you just have to keep moving forward and trust that it is part of the process. You have to put it at arms length and tell yourself to accept whatever happens. And that is what I am doing. I am letting it go and I am just moving forward like I was doing the day before and the day before that. I will not try and control the things I have no control over and I will not let something unknown control me. I have faith that God is working in my life to lift me up, not to take me down. I have faith in His process and in my ability to not be distracted.

"Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all that He has done." -Phil. 4:6
