Letting Go, Letting God

I take my life and lay it down
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
My hopes and dreams here at Your feet
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
It's all for You, it's all for You
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
- Starfield

That first flight from Toronto to Miami was tough...
As I boarded the plane, all these thoughts just pushed into my head wondering about softball ministry, relationships with people back home, things I want to do in Toronto, and fellowship outings.
I really just didn't know how to let go of these things so I could just focus on the task God has at hand for me.
Yet as I lifted these worries up to God in prayer, He reminded me that life isn't about me and what I can do to make things 'perfect' - life is about Him and He holds it together. It doesn't come down to my wants and desires, but it always comes back to God's Will.
Now I just have to trust that as I learn to let go of everything I'm holding on to, as I learn to let go of my own pride and desires, He has a greater reward and plan for me full of His blessings and love.
He is good.

And now off to Puerto Rico!

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
- Ephesians 3:20-21

Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
- Psalm 37:4
