GOD BE THE DRIVER

Hello Universe.
Thought I should share this. Today was like the other day, just slacking around, schooless today (: so on. I came online and read through my mails, read the warm fuzzies etc and I happen to read the little note that my exbest friend wrote and it seriously got me thinking. So I was pretty curious and all so I decided to have a little chat with a good friend who is like an elder brother to me, and he said to me that I should leave things to God and let God take control. True, like that bible verse "come to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest" Somehow my mind say yes, I will let God take control, I will go to him and leave everything in his hands, however, my heart would say no. Anyway, I kept that thought with me throughout the day till I went for mass.

During the first reading, I couldn't make out what the reader was reading. Guess I was sleepy cause it seemed as though it was drifting in and out and pretty soft, so I strained to hear. I could make out a few words here and there, but I clearly remembered that this verse Stuck Out the most. I heard this part of the whole entire reading the clearest. The verse that made now my heart is willing to say yes, I will let go. I believe.

1 Peter 5:7
"Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you."

God spoke to me today through this verse. I cannot really express how stunned I still am,even now when I am typing this. I remembered when I heard this, I felt comforted and there was a certain kind of peace within my heart that I can never explain.
It reminded me of the camp that I attended last year, if I am not wrong its the zj retreat. One of the speaker was telling us that we are the passenger and God is the driver. We should let him be the driver and drive us where he intends to go and we should not be the backseat driver.

God works in his marvelous ways. Through my friend. Through the word. Through Nature. (:
Praise The Lord!
