Advent day 24 -- 22 December 2009

my battery is going down quicker than i thought...

oh well...

nouwen: "i have found it very important to try to let go of my WISHES and instead to live in HOPE...when i choose to let go of my sometimes petty and superficial wishes and to trust that my life is precious and meaningful in the eyes of God, something really new, something beyond my own expectations begins to happen for me...to wait with openness and trust is an enormously radical attitude toward life. it is choosing to hope that something is happening for us that is far beyond our own imaginings. it is giving up control over our future and letting God define our life. it is living with the conviction that God molds us in love, holds us in tenderness, and moves us away from the sources of our fear..."

NOW, that is good news!

let go and let God...

do NOT be bushwhacked by EXPECTATIONS, but be ACCEPTING of all that God brings our way...

this is true truth -- very simple -- BUT not so easy [at least for me]...

shalom!

guy

wish you could all see this snow...
