The Unknown

Hey, friends! I knew it had been a while since I had written, but I didn't realize half a year had passed. Well, it's been crazy busy, but life is finally settling back into its rhythm. I have made some notes of things I want to write about, and will try to be more regular about that.
Today I am, naturally, sitting on the back porch this morning listening to the bugs sing their end-of-summer songs. It's cloudy and not hot with rain expected this afternoon. We could use it! There are plenty of chores awaiting me inside and outside, but today, this is what I am doing.
I wanted to check in with you and encourage you a little bit about the unknown. I have an unknown in my life right now. I have no control of the situation. I have many questions. I have no answers. I don't know what is going to happen.
Do you ever feel that way? I know you do! We all do. And those of us who like to be in control probably have a little more trouble in these situations that you who are more que sera.sera types. I think, though, if we are totally honest, the unknown brings with it a certain amount of anxiety and distress, no matter our personality.
So. What I have chosen to do is wait on the Lord. He ultimately is in control and He has my best interests at heart. He is on my side. And if He is for me, who can be against me. Right? I'm going to ride the wave and see where it takes me. I am going to let go and let God.
Because the alternative is an ugly prospect. If I let this little unknown become a sore spot in my life, it will quickly become very aggravating to me. If I continue to pick at it, analyzing it, trying to make it happen my way, I will cause the soreness to go deeper, grow, and be visible to others. If I persist in fretting over it, I may cause an infection that spreads - not just in my own life, but in the lives of my family and friends.
As I am writing this, Proverbs 3:5-6 keeps repeating in my thoughts. I believe it's the answer to the unknown. "Trust in the Lord with all you heart, and do not rely on your own understanding: think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths."
I looked up que sera, sera in the Urban Dictionary. This is what is says: "This is something you say when you are stuck in a hopelessly unchangeable situation, but have come to accept, or even embrace the unchangability of it all. This is similar to the phrase "it is what it is." Whatever will be, will be.
Let go and let God take control of your unknown. Trusting Him is hard, but I've done it before and He brought me through. I know He won't fail me now!
(I feel I need to make a disclaimer that this has nothing to do with my health...got the all clear from my doctors again last week!)
