It's a belief in a higher power, Who is all-knowing, all-powerful, all--EVERYTHING. I have a choice....I can do it MY way, and risk running my life off in the ditch, or I can let Him lead me in the way He knows is right for me, and have a much better life. I've lived my life both ways, and turning it all over to Him has much better results for me. I look at it as being smart enough to know what I don't know, and getting an expert's advice instead of muddling through on my own.hwnorth said:Teresa... very nice post and not devaluating it in the least ... its for you and what works for you...

The part that I..."dont get" .. or have a hard time with... if you will.
In my eyes and translation of such readings, you are asking for help from a source other than yourself. Part of what I believe is that we are all learning through a journey, and that we are the ones asked to set our own path, decide which crossroad to take. Somewhat of a test and at the same time an offer to show our maturity.
