simple?

yesterday I had a moment. I'm sure you've had one too. you're lying in bed looking up the ceiling and there you have it. a thought. well, it just became clear to me. simple as it is. why complicate it?

If god is the only one who knows where you are heading and the only one who knows the way to get there, you simply follow his directions.

like, if you are lost and you pull over and ask a totally stranger directions to get to your goal, you say thank you and trust that this stranger knows the way. you don't say "yeah right, as you would know!?". now you thank that person for being kind enough to help you in a situation when you where totally lost. so what I would like to say to you and especially myself is that obedience shouldn't be that hard. I mean if I put myself in a situation where I must trust in God and where I'm totally dependent on him the most natural would be to do as he says. Because I do believe that he knows better than me, even though it's really hard to say that and really mean it... ^^

well, the hard part is that I, most of the times, don't say "ok God thanks for helping me. I know your way's best". instead I cross my arms and say with an annoying voice "Yeah right, as you should know?!". once again I need to sacrify a bit of my ego. put myself aside and realize that I do need to depend on God because in myself I'm nothing. but that sentence isn't best friend with my pride.
today's my prayer- please let me put myself aside because I know your way's the way. because you love me.
