When All is Undone

How could I resist? :)

Like a ball of yarn or a distracted puppy at the end of its leash, my life seems to be coming undone, or maybe I was just trying to forge my own way; constantly trying to make my own route. When nothing seems to go right, not at all as planned, what is one to do? Sometimes distraught, unsure, just confused. When God closes a window, how do I look for the open door? Draw near to Him. Be reminded of a thing called trust. Sometimes it really is hard to have assurance and confidence that my Creator is gently, with my best interests in mind, leading me along, making my knots into bows. I don't know what I'm doing, or how this messy life will work out, but maybe He's got a better plan than I had myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm filled with worry, despair, and one of my weaknesses-indecisiveness. It'd be so much easier if He'd quickly make all my choices for me. I think God must like the element of surprise. I can just see Him flashing me a grin, and saying in a fun-loving tone, "I guess you'll just have to wait and see...all will work out." Maybe there is good to come with failed plans, or no plans at all. Maybe we should be more willing to come undone.
