Did you think about my last post? Well, here is my summation of what I meant. The good that happened to us, we took in stride as life happening the way we had always envisioned it would. The bad? Now that, is a horse of another color. But I had to learn that sometimes we have to wade through the bad times, whether of our creation or no, to appreciate the good times when they do get to us. Me, I have relearned to be flexible and not to get into too much of a flap about anything anymore. I used to be unflappable as a child and was disliked because of it. Then I joined the masses, became as flappable as the next person, yet still managed to make people dislike me because I had tunnel vision and knew what I wanted to do with my life, or so I thought.
Fate, deciding otherwise, determined that it was time to give me a reality check, so to speak...
"Train up a child..." (Proverbs 22:6) When fate finished with me, I stopped being flappable and saying, "If I had done this or had not done that..."
I went right back to my childhood training
And to my childlike trust in HIM and
That is where I shall stay
Come what may
I was unflappable as a child and am again
No more worry about what's going to come up now
What is coming up for me, I have no idea
But I will leave everything
In HIS capable hands, that I do vow
Because I have learned through study and the lessons of fate
That HE orchestrates my life according to HIS plan
That HE has my name written in the palms of HIS hands
And that HE can handle me and my problems with a swiftness
And aplomb that leaves me awestruck and saying, "Wow!"
