Verse Meditation -
Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
Through this blogging journey I have been taking, I found this lovely, honest blog called, Small Spaces. The blog author, Kim summarizes how I feel about mystery and how I need to let go to it by saying, "I think my fear is that mystery means out-of-control. Mystery means I might get hurt. Mystery means I don’t know what’s coming next, but it’s probably not going to feel very good. But there is so much yes in mystery. When I let go of control and live in mystery, I open myself to gifts that don’t come when I am holding on tightly. There is serendipity. There are surprises, and peace".
Being such a control freak, I don't like the unknown. Mysteries are okay in fiction, (although I have been known to leave the room or close my eyes if a movie gets too suspenseful), but in real life I hate not knowing or understanding things. Do you like mystery or the unknown? Let me know how you have learned or are learning to let go to the mystery of it all and discovering the peace that it brings. Thank you for visiting and being a part of my journey!
See you later!
