Have you heard the saying “If you don’t bend, you’ll break?” I don't know about you, but I feel that in my life. I am learning that I need to hold on more loosely to be open to what God has planned… as Joanne Heim has written..that means both for my day and for my life. Everything just doesn’t go as planned as much as we’d like it. Does it? Things go directions we don’t intend. AAND We need to follow where God leads.
Here is the good news...when things aren’t going well and we feel crazy, we need to remember what God says to us in Matthew, “You are blessed when you are at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of me and my rule.” (Matthew 5:3) Ah… I don’t know about you but I feel I am at that blessed end of my rope most days!!! Instead of trying and trying to make things work (adding more rope)… let’s look up for help from God and bend.
