I saw this little saying on Pinterest recently and stopped in my tracks. It completely describes how I’m feeling right now in at least six areas of my life
.
Every time I want to stop what I’m doing and wait until all of my ducks are in a row before I go on, God reminds me that He’s in charge and tells me to keep going. Some people have ducks-in-a-row kind of lives. I thought I was going to have that kind of life! I used all of the responsibility that comes instinctively to firstborns to try to position my life to go according to a nice pretty little plan. But God had other ideas for our lives. Note to self: His ideas are always better. I’m learning to embrace the holy chaos that God is bringing into my life. There are definitely times (umm like today?) where I wish that I had a nice well-lit little path laid out in front of me that I could tie up in a nice pretty little bow as I arrive at each pre-planned checkpoint. But I’m living a ‘lamp unto my fight and a light unto my path’ kind of life instead. I haven’t mastered the faith required to live this holy chaos life with complete grace {smile} but I can tell you that God has always come through. Although I don’t see the greater plan all the time, He does. When I tell Him I can’t do this, He tells me to go ahead and do it anyway. And it always works out.
Since I like things to be pretty, I redesigned this little saying into something a little more vibrant. Feel free to use it however you like!
