I was thinking about this a couple of days ago—how easy it is to try to control everything, to make life go my way, and how often that leads to stress and frustration. And it reminded me of…you guessed it…one of my favorite quotes: “There are only two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘All right, then, have it your way.’” It’s such a simple, yet powerful reminder that we’re always faced with a choice: trust a bigger plan, or try to force things ourselves.
Yesterday morning, more than other times, I decided to let His will be done. It wasn’t easy, but it felt lighter. The more I try to control things, the more I end up feeling stressed and disconnected. When I let go and trust, there’s a peace I can’t find in control.
It’s not about being passive; it’s about finding peace in surrendering to something greater than myself. It’s about living with a sense of purpose, even when things don’t go as planned.
There are those who trust that God knows best, and there are those who, for all their striving, end up being the ones who say, “I got this,” only to have life throw a curveball and remind them they don’t got it. And honestly, I’ve been both of these people at different times.
So today, I ask you: Do you want to trust the process, even when it’s unknown? Or do you want to try to control everything? I know which one brings me more peace. How about you?
Thankful today that I get to post this.
What are you thankful for today?
Until next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.

This is a bit of a heavy one but a great reminder. Thankful I have God and a great support system to lean on when I gotta say, “it’s in His hands”.
