Life has been happening at a rather convoluted pace lately. And that is really disconcerting. It seems to crawl, and then almost stop. Other times it goes obscenely fast almost as if one were on a roller coaster, and you feel like throwing up from all the excitement. Life (God) has sure thrown some surprises my way, and I'm not always sure what to do with the things that come my way. I want to be in His will all the time, but I'm not always sure what His will is. That is why I am always glad that he gives us his comforting and encouraging words to take to heart. "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight". That passage from Proverbs right there, is just so amazing to me. All he wants is for us to acknowledge him in everything, and he will make your path straight. So, Lord, I choose to acknowledge you for everything you've given me, for everything you have made me, and for everything that has happened in my life. You are the center, the very heart of me. And I love you. Please make my paths straight, and guide me in your truth.
