And the pawns are in place

Sunday, May 22, 2005
Really yesterday was great. The hours of talking and sorting through things helped out a great deal. SO I have made the first steps in contacting my mother and my old friend. Two of the people I need to make peace with and have some heartfelt discussions with each of them. I do not feel as scared as I did. So by God's grace I just kinda did it. I did not go into detail just made two calls out for each of them to establish contact.

So the pawns have been set, and it's up to God now for the next step.

I guess just knowing that God planned this when I needed it just helps me so much more inwanting to face it and move onward to the next step. Even if the outcome is not very good and worse case scnario where I make contact and bad comes of it, may I realize that I need to depend on God to make it through. every day, every step.

Depend on him more than I am or have been. It's an amazing feeling but knowing that I have got to buckle down and cofront whatever comes of this now.

Making those calls was a big step. I admire that.

Yes it was hard to do. Easier after I did it than I thought. Only becasue it was God that got me through that. Otherwise my words would have made them both worse. I can't recall the scripture or where I heard it but when the time is right God gives you the resources and even the right words to say.

And this proved it to me.

Tom, I admire you, too! That's so cool. Amazing.

Haven't seen you in awhile. Hope you continue to find strength and courage when you most need it!

    Thy way, not mine, O lord


    Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
    However dark it be;
    Lead me by Thine own hand,
    Choose out the path for me.

    Smooth let it be or rough,
    It will be still the best;
    Winding or straight, it leads
    Right onward to Thy rest.

    I dare not choose my lot;
    I would not, if I might;
    Choose Thou for me, my God,
    So I shall walk aright.

    Take Thou my cup, and it
    With joy or sorrow fill,
    As best to Thee may seem;
    Choose Thou my good and ill.

    Choose Thou for me my friends,
    My sickness or my health;
    Choose Thou my cares for me
    My poverty or wealth.

    The kingdom that I seek
    Is Thine: so let the way
    That leads to it be Thine,
    Else I must surely stray.

    Not mine, not mine the choice
    In things or great or small;
    Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
    My Wisdom, and my All.

    ~Horatius Bonar
