Embracing the New

Sometimes when I am having hard time (like yesterday) I go to upperroom.org for the daily reflections. It is amazing because every time I have gone to check it out , I feel like they know exactly what is going on in my life. The scripture and the daily reflections match whatever is going on in my life. It is kind of like reassurance that God is with me and that I'm going in the right direction. This morning when I went to the site, the very top of the page said "Embracing the New" and the reflection for today was this:

All change involves leaving behind something known in order to move forward toward the new and unknown. It means releasing the way things were in order to embrace the way things are and the way things will be. Understanding our past is important but our lives are meant to be lived in the present and into the future.

Isn't that amazing? I really feel like yesterday was my lucky Thursday ( Lifelink Waiters will know what that means) because Wednesday I felt myself falling and this has been such a hard time for us. I have not been patient , I just felt like I needed to have control over something and couldn't let go and let what God had planned happen. Wednesday night I prayed that he would end this for Cameron, that he would keep him safe and give him a secure, loving family. And I told him that I would give him control and let him steer my life in the direction it was supposed to go. I asked him for answers and I prayed for peace for Jesse and I. And he gave me all of that yesterday. So I am embracing the new and looking forward to the future.
