You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
-Proverbs 19:21
I was struck with tears and laughter, yes, again, during yoga as I surrendered to God’s plans. His plan to send me into widowhood and single parenthood still confounds me. I have survived to thrive in this role. The terrible pain, sadness, and guilt are a part of that success. It is hard to make sense of. It is hard to surrender to. The joy of my growth makes me laugh like a child and the pain brings tears alongside.
God has asked me to surrender. Sometimes I can. Sometimes the emotions are overwhelming. Sometimes I can embrace His plan and feel like I am surfing through the universe. It is a thrilling plan, a hero’s journey I am blessed to have the responsibility of undertaking.
