"What keeps us clinging to our own efforts instead of risking the greatness that God directs us toward? For many of us, it's the loss of control... What does letting go look like? From my experience, it often involves patience and looking for God's hand in places we might not expect. God rarely conforms to our timetables or does thing in a neat, linear way from our human and limited perspective. Sometimes we don't even realize what we were made to do, what really energizes and delights us, until we're forced into it, kicking and screaming. C.S. Lewis said that too often we're like children who settled for playing in mud puddles when the beauty and immensity of the ocean are just a few feet away." Kerry Shook, "One Month to Live"
