PocketFullOfSmiles View Profile History	God's Direction Posted : 18 Jan, 2011 08:20 PM I am going through some rough patches right now. Not exactly sure what I am supposed to do. Feeling like I'm alone and lost. God does have a plan and I know I will see some direction as to what I need to do. I am also having a hard time letting go of the reigns and letting God have control over these situations. Thank you everyone! Have a blessed night/day Post Reply

God promised us " When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

vkjewell View Profile History	God's Direction Posted : 28 Jan, 2011 03:56 PM Let me give you this much encouragement, Smiles . . . There is great wisdom even in the title of your prayer request! You are wise enough to know (by faith) that God's Direction is better than anyone else's. And you also recognize where some of your struggle lies, as it does for all of us -- letting go and letting God. A few months ago, my relatively new boyfriend, who is a pilot, (I'll call him Captain) took me out for my first small airplane ride, which I thought I was fairly well prepared for. The plane has something called dual controls, which means that at any time both the pilot and navigator agree, the controls can be exchanged from one to anothe. After only ten minutes of flying, Captain turned over the controls to me in order to load the camera. As long as I could see all the way around and out over the horizon, I was only slighly terrified. But when I had to pull up to gain altitude, I suddenly couldn't see anything! I was ready to turn the controls back over in a nano-second. Needless to say, Captain had hours upon hours of simulated flying ON THE GROUND and then with an instructor (just as we first do to drive!) Now Captain has many many years of experience taking off and flying and landing BLIND, using only instruments to tell him when hs is level, turning, climbing, or decending. Even in great turbulence, at night, and through unnerving weather, it takes a lot to shake his confidence in the INSTRUMENTATION. He wouldn't THINK of relying on his FEELINGS to keep the plane level or on course; FEELINGS are not trustworthy. And they can cause you to crash. I hope this is helpful to you today and for the future ~ Your Sister ~ Val Posted : 18 Jan, 2011 08:20 PM I am going through some rough patches right now. Not exactly sure what I am supposed to do.
