this makes me smile
have you ever experienced a scent for the first time in awhile and found yourself transported back in time?
opening a well-familiar can of hazlenut coffee I was stunned by the aroma, and instantly I felt tears well up...standing in the kitchen with that beautiful tree outside the window over the sink...loving hands delivering a hot mug filled with liquid gold, with a banana and yogurt to my bedside, and me feeling so cared for and cared about...
if I were to turn back time, what would I have done differently? the difference between being controlling and allowing God to lead the way makes all the difference in the world...on one hand, believing God wishes the best for us, whatever that will be, versus forcing something into being what is most desired is quite painful, and the opposite of God's will...
allowing God to do His work in my life has been a relief for me...attending to the moments when I realize I'm forcing a situation into being, seeing the consequences will be unfavorable, and reminding myself to let go so He may pour His blessings on me
it means the end of a lifetime of bad decisions, heartache, lost time and missed opportunities for sharing my blessings with others
it's staggering how much I have learned and grown, and being transported back into that time always brings a smile to my face, with so many incredible moments and memories, and now wishing things could have been different so it could have worked out, and now praying for God's will in all of our lives
