Confession first: I’m SCARED to pieces, this commitment to 31 Days…  I’m trying to not justify talking myself out of doing this. I’m hoping at the end of the month, there will be feeling of accomplishment. Achievement. And a whole lot less stage fright when I get ready to push ‘publish’.

For those who don’t know what I’m referring to…. The Nester is hosting 31 Days. As I mentioned in my last post, I know I can’t focus on one topic – so, it’ll be about life.  Yes, I’m cheating.

This is what I feel like life is right now. A rushing river. With LOTS of bumps.

The river {time} = rushing, rushing, rushing. Whether you are ready or not. Whether you want it to or not. Never stopping. There is nothing you can do about it, except relax and CHOOSE to enjoy the journey.

The rocks {life circumstances} = expected but not always completely seen. Sometimes looks different than it really is – depends on your angle. Always directing the flow. If you hit one hard enough, it ALWAYS hurts. If you bump one {aren’t as rigid in expectations}, it just changes your direction, flows easier, hurts less, and you enjoy the journey more.

So thankful my Heavenly Father is in control. Absolute control. At ALL times. When I choose to “let go and let God”, it’s more like being in a rubber raft and the rocks just guide me through the openings. Some parts might be scary, but it hurts less and the journey is more enjoyable.
