He Is Always Ready and Waiting

When the teeniest last sliver of hope
slides out of your mind cells, 
gliding away peacefully on the
dying throes of a mean winter’s day

that is when God comes in and
takes over, 
speaking to the glimmer of
hope a caring angel pushed inside
your smallest self, moments before
your soul was completely
finalized.

wise ones will let go sooner rather
than later, releasing their hopes and
dreams, trusting that someone
much wiser will take the reins.
He is always waiting, ready to
pick up.

Believe.
Let Go.
Let Him.

Don’t always go kicking
and screaming into 
what you have needed
all along.

It's a good thing. We humans have a tendency to goof up everything. If he wasn't steering; we'd hit a wall every single day.

I have to keep reminding myself to LET GO; LET GOD, and I mean every single time. A lesson I have not truthfully fully embraced even though I know it - I really do.

When we've exhausted everything we know that is when faith kicks in.
