Just Let Go

As much as I try to be in control of my life, I have had many reminders lately that I am not the one running the show.  With the stress searching for a house, starting a new job, starting my own fledgling photography business, trying to fulfill my calling and just plain old being a good mom, I was stretched so thin that for the first time in my life I had a nervous breakdown.  Sobbing on my knees one night I turned my circumstances over to my Father in Heaven who undoubtedly knows what is best for me and my family.  I gave up.  I couldn't do it on my own, and He knew that. I just had to ask for His help, and have the courage to accept whatever His will for me was. Within days, I had found a house, work was coming in for Jared, assistance that we had been waiting for for over two years now came through, and the blessings just keep pouring in...so many that I can't even mention.  Sometimes I have to sit back and realize yes, while I have my own choices to make in life, God wants me to be happy and is waiting to bless me! He is in control and the sooner I remember that and accept His will for me .... the happier I can be!
