Sometimes, even with our best efforts, the outcome isn't what we wish it were. Sometimes I get frustrated when something isn't done my way, or doesn't come out the way I had planned. Am I really that selfish and self-centered?
Sometimes I feel like giving up. I think this time I will. I am going to just quit trying to do everything my way. I'll try a different way. Maybe someone else has a plan that is being thwarted because I want my way and his plan can't happen until I relinquish my control... to him... I give up. You can have it your way. :)

I love you Ali. You are amazing. You are certainly not selfish or self-centered! I am learning (nearly daily) that I don't have to have control just trust. Love you!

I totally understand and agree. can't wait to see you so soon!
Wish I knew what was behind this, or is it a general thing?
I know that sometimes figuring out the Lord's plan for our lives can seem like a struggle - and sometimes things just flow. Maybe that's a bit of what you're getting at?
Happy Birthday tomorrow, by the way!! Make it a great year.
Ali, you are an inspiration to me! Don't ever think you are selfish or wanting more that you deserve. I love you and know that you are loved by many.
Ali, i love you and know that the Lord does have a great plan for your life. you are not selfish! There are so many things in our lives that we wish would go a certain way...that's just life and I think part of life that we figure out that we have to relenquish control. For me, the answers to my prayers and pleading usually come after I hit my lowest low and am finally willing to surrender (or you may say give up)my will. Thank you for being a great friend and always calling to chat at the times I really need it it. Happy Birthday!!!!!
Oh girl, I feel you on this one. I'm always struggling for that balance of resignation versus tenacity. There is no one answer to each circumstance and even hope seems a lost cause at times. Hang in there. We all love you.
