Our life plans need to stop getting in the way of what we are supposed to do We burden ourselves with plans, structure, certainties which accumulate into disappointment and failure we worry about planning for the future, whether we can afford to pay our bills, to quit our jobs, to move to a new city do any of these things actually matter? I'm not saying one should be irresponsible. Far from it. The responsible way to do it is to have very little debt, live modestly, save a little while you can, and use the savings when you need to. But don't tie yourself down to a job because of a mortgage or a new car or a credit card. Just move. Make the right decision. Stop acting like God is so small that he can't take care of you. Stop being scared to be where you are supposed to be and live the way you are supposed to live Stop being afraid to take chances Stop being afraid to get hurt Stop worrying about what other people might think Just be who you are Why does this have to be so hard? -------------------- For me, right now, it isn't the moving that's hard. It isn't the being me that's hard. It's dealing with the consequences of the past that is hard. Heavenly Father - Tonight please just be with me as a battle the demons of lust and jealousy and regret and self-hatred. Please not only forgive me for these sins, but also take this from me - if it be your will. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Amen
