These past couple of days have been really intense for me. Some opportunities have opened up and I’ve had to decide whether or not I want to pursue them. To go after them means risking being disappointed or failing. To leave them alone means wondering what could have been.
Neither option seems all that…appetizing.
I was recently gifted with an Indelible Grace CD. It’s an album of (what I assume to be) hymns performed in acoustic, and I’ve gotta say, it’s beautiful.
While listening to it in the car, these lines really hit home for me:
Whatever Thy providence denies,
I calmly would resign
For Thou art just, and good, and wise,
O bend my will to ThineWhatever Thy sacred will ordains,
O give me strength to bear;
And let me know my Father reigns,
And trust his tender care( Justin Smith – My God My Father Blissful Name )
I’m taking chances and I don’t know what their outcomes will be. Considering that I have the habit of letting myself get carried away by the possibilities, I hope those words will be my prayer for the next few days while I’m waiting for everything to play out.
