Trust God and Stay out of the Way...

This afternoon Doug and I began re-arranging our school room, and computers to make way for the new laptop I will be getting, and the other computer (s) the kids will be inheriting, and I got a glimpse of what God must feel like. As Nikki & J.D. were watching us, they kept asking why we were putting things where we put them, kept assuming a certain outcome and were convinced they wouldn't like it, and got upset and frustrated because there were temporary changes that meant they had to wait. The whole time I felt frustrated because Doug and I knew exactly where everything was going to go, why we were doing things, and knew that in the end everyone would be happier. I was frustrated to be constantly questioned, and inevitably Doug and I kept chanting, "You've got to just trust us, and stay out of the way please". Sighhh... nothing like a good object lesson from everyday life! In any event, God knows exactly what He's doing, any shifting and changing He's bringing about is for everyone's benefit, and we'll all be happier in the end :)... that is if we stay out His way and just trust Him :)... I felt an incredible sense of peace, and started to laugh inside... pressure's off. God's in control. It's all good :).
