The last section where you pose the questions of do we need to be willing was given to me a few weeks ago - after some frustration with finding our house - I went to mass and was praying about finding our house and all my grief about it - something I hadn't really been handing over to God (though I said to myself that I was) and after mass I had a very clear inner voice say you need to REALLY pray and to be willing. . . and I thought, "Oh Great! Willing to what?" I thought about it a lot and REALLY prayed and it dawned on me later that I had to be willing to be open to God's plan and that he was asking me to participate in his plan by talking to Him. The day after that mass and ardent prayer, we looked at a house and it is the one that we are getting the keys for today! This is after, mind you, months and months of searching and over nine offers made on other houses! Yes, we must be willing to be willing! He knows what He is doing and He has a plan, though we often can't see it. Praise be to God that He is in control! :) I hope this will be a reminder to be willing to His plan in ALL areas of my life!Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191184472212495030noreply@blogger.com
