Live

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions
Rainer Maria Rilke

No showerheads were hurt in the making of this photo

I wrote this completely awesome post full of introspection and wisdom, but it got freaking deleted. So I leave you with this.

Where, Where, Where

Why is it so hard to let God have control of our lives?

I am sitting on my bed, alone, and full of doubt and unrest.

I have no idea what I am doing with me life.

I so desperately want to do what pleases God. But the thing is, I have no idea what He wants. What if He wants something scary, hard, or demanding? What if they don't line up with what I want?

My desires need to be His desires. My selfishness needs to be stripped away, and that scares the heck out of me.
He knows the desires of my heart; a wife, and a mommy. And I know without a doubt that He has those in the plan for my future.

But until then where does He want me?
