On the second to last day of 2011, I had a revelation that more or less summed up the entire year that was 2011 - I AM NOT IN CONTROL!! As many times as I have said it, blogged it, facebooked it and wished it to be true, in my heart of hearts I didn't have faith that God had true control over my life! So, it was that 2011 became the year of learned humility that God placed upon this hard of hearing child of His.
Now, although it may have seem that I might have been a tiny bit over zealous with my dislike (hehe) of Utah, I have come to the conclusion that God had always meant for me to have an encounter with this ummm... Salty city of differences! Lol. As it turns out, living in Utah truly did teach me A LOT about myself, about the imperfections that others see in me and the imperfections that I saw in myself, it also hardened me, to be cautious of who you listen to and what you let others speak into your heart, and that bitterness can also be deeper in people you least expected it from and will absolutely take root within your own heart if you let it, and among all of that, it not only brought Ben and I closer together, it deepend & strengthened our bond as husband & wife. Finally, the number one lesson I learnt from 2011 was this... That until you let go of the steering wheel and let God into the driving seat, His plans for your life & future will forever be on standby. I'm choosing to believe and be faithful that God's plan for my future is 10x better than the one I (or anyone else) have planned, and that its much much better than the life I've been living till now, don't you agree?!
LET GO & LET GOD, 2012!
Happy New Year, from The Puaina's
