Note to Self

New Note to Self:
When you want so badly to see what God's will is in a situation, try getting out of the way. He really can handle it when you let go. Does the word 'surrender' sound familiar to you at all? Yeah.... I thought it would. You're trying so hard to be brave in this life, and the braver thing to do is to trust God with the big open nothingness ahead of you when you stop trying to write the story; the coward version is holding on so tightly and controllingly that you think you can predict what will happen. Would you rather take the slow and steady path drawn out so perfectly on the map, or hitch on your hang glider, take a running start and leap off the edge, feeling the air whip past your ears and watching the things of the earth shrink away below you? Well, I don't know about you, but, self, get ready to fly.
