Let go and Let God

My Aunt Liz posted this on face book earlier:

“As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend. I brought
my broken dreams to God because he was my friend. But then instead of
leaving him in peace to work alone I hung around and tried to help with
ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried "How could you be so slow"  "My child", He said, "What could I do? You never did let go.””

That rang so true for me.  I’ve been holding on to my broken dreams for so long now, that I had forgotten to give them to God, to let him work in His own way and His own time.  I was told I would never have a child of my own, and look what God gave me! A beautiful little princess of my very own to help me through my nightmare time. A gorgeous girl, my own flesh and blood, who is so much a part of me and Scott! She has little bits of each of us, from her obsession with electronics, to her love of being just a bit girly, yet sporty and geeky at the same time! I love every little thing about her, and her spirit his so amazing! Yet, my dream, for more little children grew larger while I was pregnant with her, and just after she was born. I had dreams and visions of at least one more little child, a boy next time, to call my own. But my daughter surprises me in every way, every day! So now I must learn to let go and let God.  If He wills it then so be it!  I must remember to have faith and to rebuild new dreams, one’s surrounding my daughter and husband. 

Everyone, please remember to pray for my friend Maggie, she’s strong and so full of life, but I’m sure she’d love the prayers and good thoughts. 

Be well….
