It's finally the day after Christmas...

It's finally here....the day after Christmas. A couple of weeks ago, when I was feeling very much overwhelmed by the Christmas rush and all that's been happening in my world, I woke up one morning and said...."I wish it was the day after Christmas.".....and now it is.

I am sitting here in my pajamas, sipping a cup of hot coffee, and thinking about a lot of things. So much of life has been out of control....and I'm learning to be ok with that. Life is out of my control...no matter how much I try and control things, the truth is that many, many things are just beyond my control. I am learning to trust God in the difficult circumstances...imagine that...actually putting my faith to work!...LOL.

So...I'm glad the Christmas rush is over with. I am going to enjoy this cup of coffee that I am sipping on and I am going to trust that God knows what He is doing and that He is causing all things to work together for good. Maybe tomorrow I'll be ready to blog about the things that are trying to weigh so heavily on my heart but not today. Today I am simply going to trust in the Lord with all of my heart and lean not to my own understanding. Today I am choosing to believe that even when life feels completely out of control, it's never out of His control....
