Getting Out of the Way

Scott and I made a big decision to get out of God's way recently. We had our own agenda and time schedule and were sticking to it (we're both first children, can you tell?). Then we just said, "Okay, God, have at it," and placed total control in his hands. It's not that he didn't have that control anyway, but we were trying to manipulate His plan for our life and put Him on our itinerary. But I think that having the faith to say, "It's all Yours," means that we finally relented and bowed to His schedule and his perfect timing. And that feels right.

I'm reminded of when he and I were dating. I thought, if this is meant to be, there is no way to screw it up. God will over-ride our stupidity, stubbornness, and mistakes and see our relationship though to completion. We placed ourselves and "us" completely in His hands. We have a lot of unanswered questions about our future and direction, but placing it all in His court helps all of that anxiety go away.
