I don't know about you, but I fall in the category of gullibility quite often. I assumed after I graduated from college my life would magically fall in place. I was so wrong, I believed I would get hired within the snap of a finger, start my career, build my income all within a short period of time. This may sound absurd to you but I was determined my version of grandeur plans would come to fruition. I had no clue of all the detours life would take me through. In the midst of it all, I learned that sometimes I try to be my own God. It's easy to say "God is good, all the time" when life is swell. It is through the trials when faith is put to the test. Through the many lessons I learned in this chapter of my life the one that stuck with me the most is to learn to let go, of control, fear, etc. I need to let go of everything holding me back. Through the season of the unknown I learned how much I NEED to dig deep to the most vulnerable parts of me, I needed to find my roots and pluck away anything that attempted to hinder my progress. The truth is, I am nothing without God. I sometimes fool myself into believing I can handle life on my own. I must remember He is the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, therefore, I have to learn to let go and allow peace to be still. I can't determine my future, I can pray on it but the reality is, the future is something I simply have no control over. I have to take life moment by moment, there is no need for me to exert unnecessary energy on the future when I have the gift of enjoying the present moment.
