It's so easy to look back and see what the big plan was-hindsight is 20/20 after all. But when you're in the moment? All you really have to go on is faith that there is some greater plan, something better that you just can't see yet. And I'm sure you know better than even me, that sometimes it's hard to believe that anything good can possibly come. I'm so glad your great came in the form of Bug and later Butterfly. What beautiful blessings.Jainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05666481569069955190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-41044704621694375742008-09-20T05:06:00.000-07:002008-09-20T05:06:00.000-07:00How do you let go and just trust God's plan? Oh ho...How do you let go and just trust God's plan? Oh honey, I have been asking myself that for year. I can say that when I was miscarrying I was so angry at God. I kept trying to force my own happiness. Then I let go, and I found Buggy. Still, it can be hard to find a balance between waiting and trying to make magic happen.ConverseMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964215682943025507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-84817807718554446662008-09-19T22:36:00.000-07:002008-09-19T22:36:00.000-07:00Gramma Ann-On my way over to check it out.

BUT, the only way I know to get you there is to go to http://annsmoodyblues.blogspot.com/ and on my August 31, 2008 post entitled, "Me and Mr. Jones" she left the first comment. She is: "oldold lady of the hills."<BR/><BR/>This is a part 2 post, part 1 she posted a few weeks ago. <BR/><BR/>I hope you can make sense of this post, and find her post interesting.<BR/><BR/>gramma ann....again;) Gigi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092019687497845746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-7908665693218401562008-09-19T12:04:00.000-07:002008-09-19T12:04:00.000-07:00Gramma Ann-Those nights are not fun.

Thank you so much for sharing them :)Jainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05666481569069955190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-11089664662146983322008-09-19T11:15:00.000-07:002008-09-19T11:15:00.000-07:00Hi Jaina,Wednesday night was my night of insomnia,...Hi Jaina,<BR/><BR/>Wednesday night was my night of insomnia, I couldn't go to sleep until after 3:00 am. I hate those nights. But, as you said, our minds won't settle down. Like you I was being a worry-wart about a 5 minute presentation I needed to give Thursday evening. I made it through and I'm just fine this Friday morning.<BR/><BR/>As far as God's plan for us...as you said, he created us with freewill. He does not force us to worship him. But, God does have requirements that he expects us to follow if we want to worship in a way that pleases him. How do we learn these requirements, by a study of the Bible. That is where we today find comfort from any problems we may be facing. Matthew chapters 5-7 is where Jesus famous sermon on the Mount is found. It covers a variety of situations we encounter often and the solutions. If everyone applied the counsel found their the world would be a much happier place.<BR/><BR/>There I go on a "tangent" so will get down off my soapbox and quietly go back to "Anns Little Reading Corner."
