Submission

the narration of the stories of violence really shook me.  they turned my insides out and i could not hold them.
the need for predictability and control reared its ugly head and instead of looking inwards, i looked out, to people, events and things.

as always my lesson comes to me when i submit, when i leave it to God to take care of me.
the lesson is patience Shaz, and faith. God whispers, Shaz, I have got you here, to this point of clarity and peace, even though you fought me every inch of the way, and you doubt me still?

no God, I do not doubt you. yes i fear uncertainty and long for an airtight experience of security.
But I also know now that is not found outside oneself.

it is within. that unshakable trust is planted, nurtured and sowed within the deepest recesses of my soul.

and so i bow my head and submit.
