Learning to Let Go

I am learning no matter how much I want to hold on to something, sometimes it is best to let go and allow life to take its course. I can't force life to happen, which I try all the time only to discover that it is not meant to be forced but rather lived. All I can really do is my best and what is meant to happen, will happen. It is not such an easy task for me.

I believe that if I do my best God will take care of the rest, and that His plan is far better than my own. However, to actually understand and know that, can be difficult at times. It means I have to trust that things happen for a reason, and everything will work out the way they are meant to work out.

Too often I forget the miracles and tender mercies I have received in my life, thinking I can do it on my way or my plan is better. Then God's plan comes along and usually it means changing something, and it is hardly ever easy however it turns out far better then my own plan.  I should reflect on my life more often, and the obstacles I have had to overcome and I will clearly see that God's ways, though not easy, are always better.

So this is me letting go, or attempting too :)
