The real thing

Many times in life I find something that I am passionate about and want to throw myself into it. Right now God it teaching me a very hard lesson. it is not what I'm use to so it is uncomfortable and that makes me uneasy.
I am having to learn how to genuinely care and not hold onto the thing but rather hold onto God. I am having to make sure I'm guarding my heart, mind, spirit, soul and thoughts. It has been so hard to do. If I am inpatient, unsure or hesitant about something I have to hand it over to God. That's it. It cant linger in my mind. It can't remain in my hands. It can not be in my control.
Even though this has been a hard lesson to learn, and I'm still learning it, I know that God knows what is best for my life. if you go to an antique store and there are two tables sitting next to each other, you would assume that they are the same. Only an antique expert could tell you which one is a fake. The fake looks the same and functions the same but, it is not nearly as valuable.
God is the expert of my life and I am trusting him because He knows what is the best and most valuable for my life. I absolutely refuse to take the fake in stead of the real. I don't want a counterfeit only ok story. I want the genuine, really to the core story. The story that God has hand written for my life is far better then I could ever understand. He gave us the choice to take the pen and rewrite our story but, I want to see what he writes. I want to stand in awe of the plans he has for my life, I want to live in the peace of knowing he knows best. It has been hard to leave everything in his hands but, I'm doing it. Little by little and inch by inch I'm learning how to trust him and guard my heart.
