I don't know what I'm being taught right now, oh wait, the HS just told me a few. Let go, pray, and remain joyful. Wait, there's another: patience. It's going to take a LOT of lessons for me to learn these virtues!
I've lost a few things in the past three weeks, and I don't do well when things are missing. Somehow, Blessing #3's shoes have vanished. We have lost Blessing #1's Cub Scout coupon books (10 of them) and the money from the ones already sold. Blessing #1 and I lost my iPod. I feel like half of my brain is missing as I frantically review where we've been, where these items could be, whom could I ask, etc... This goes on and on and on... I don't sleep well, I don't concentrate well, nothing gets done until the lost item is found. I am usually more organized than this and I know where everything is. So, the Lord is teaching me that I have to let go and let Him know where everything is. I guess "ignorance is bliss" is the saying He wants me thinking right now.
I am praying. Earnestly. My main concern is the people who wrote checks for a coupon book. I don't know all of them. I need to pray that they'll understand. Oh, please understand.
Remaining joyful is one of the hardest things, but I am going to try. I can think on the things we have found (which were also lost) - Blessing #4's shoes. At least I can't lose God and He'll never lost me! (o:
I must be patient and wait for God's timing and answer. If His answer is not what I want to hear, I need to be joyful and love the fact that God still loves me enough to work on me!

I wish our God played the "Hot/Cold" game. You think, "I'll look in the bathroom for that missing item" and God would say, "Ooooh, you're freezing! You're in the Tundra!!!" At least you'd get an idea of where to look and not to look!
