What an unpredictable but amazing life it is when you let go and let God. The simple things are what floor me the most. Nothing I plan seems to be what happens LOL. For example, I was determined to work on Christmas yesterday afternoon. I had several commitments at Church starting last night and through the weekend so I thought it was then or I would be in trouble (again LOL).
I managed to get some things done in the a.m., but after Mass/Rosary, a lady was basically pouring her heart out to me, so I could not just get up and leave. We talked for almost 2 hrs; putting a huge dent in my timeline. But, I didn’t panic. I just made a new plan.
Today, the exact opposite happened. I had not planned on going to Mass. I was going to do my normal and arrive during Mass and start on the candles in the Narthex. BUT there was absolutely no traffic. Instead of the 30- 45 mins it normally takes me on Thurs a.m., I was there in 15 and arrived right as Mass started. Even though I could not receive Him (no preparation or fast), I was not going to pass up the opportunity to attend especially with Fr. J celebrating.
After Mass, as I met up with the other ladies to start cleaning. There were twice as many as expected and more than needed. So I begged off. As I was driving home, He told me – see, I gave you your 2 hours back. LOL
As I was writing this, He reminded me that all last night and again this morning I kept trying to accept His timing for “fixing” me – taking away my laziness, selfishness, and vices, but was not really doing so. He laid on my heart that I had a few more lessons in trusting Him and His timing on a smaller scale such as what happened in the last 24 hrs., then I (or rather He) can move forward in my holiness 😊
