Following

Let go.

Oh, Lord.
I got on this ride, 
now I need to stop trying to dictate where 
it is taking me. 
I knew this was an adventure when I got on
so why am I trying to 
control and plan?

I need to let go of this iron 
grip I keep thinking
I've already let go of 
on my future
and I need to trust God to open
the right doors and I need to trust
the people He's given me
to give me wise counsel. 

Just wait,
he says. 
Have patience. 

Oh, this crazy ride.
3 weeks to be out and clean and ready to go. 
Where are we
(where am I)
going?

I want to make my plans
and dictate my life
(my life!)
because I feel like I'm being blown about,
a ship lost at sea...
following, blindly

do i trust?

I keep being led back here,
right back to this path.
I made this choice last fall.
I reclaimed it this past October
and I cannot leave it now. 

Be calm,
He says. 
I've got this. 

Okay. 
Take a deep breath. 

Do I trust him?
Do I trust Him?

It really doesn't make any sense to me,
it flies in the face of
convention
and culture
but...

Every time I try to do things
"right"
it seems to blow up in my face.

Oh, Lord. 

So here (I) 
go.
