The End? (from David)

David sent me this blog post. It is dated November 8, 2009.

What I wouldn't give some days to have a crystal ball. Instead, I have to settle for a daily episode of my life without a clue as to what the next scene looks like, much less the ending.

Since I don't have a crystal ball or a script, I have to trust that the direction of this series that is my life has control. And that is difficult to do sometimes. I have never liked letting others control things. Just ask Lisa. Or my friends. Or my therapist who has said to me probably 50 times, "David, you're controlling again." It was just like breathing for me.

The only thing that has helped me to relinquish control (no, not jail!) is the acceptance that God is sovereign over my life. To trust that he has my best interest in directing my life.

Does that mean I'm not responsible? Just the opposite. I have to commit every day to live a positive life, a Godly life. A life focused on serving others. Not serving my will or desires.

So forget the crystal ball. I have faith. I have hope.

God bless,
David
