Lesson 155 (Again)

Lesson 155 (Again):

it's almost always been my own way, pushing ahead blindly, struggling against the forces of the world, and never even suspecting that there's another way to live. Life, or so I long believed, was crafted through a series of hardships and easier moments and it was entirely up to me to organize them in a meaningful fashion that would somehow prove satisfying in the end. Very often though the scale of struggle and ease would never seem to find a balance. Maybe most often. And life just seemed overwhelming meaningless and sad. 

that's the way it's supposed to be, 

right? 

A Course in Miracles tells us that God thinks otherwise.

and finally...I'm ready to listen.

there is another way, thankfully so, and all that's required is my surrender. Early lessons of the Course point out that I don't really know what anything is for, nor do I realize my own best interest. I only think I do - and therein lies the problem. By the time lesson 155 arrives the solution is clear, although that doesn't mean I'm ready to accept it completely. Not quiet. It's taken me awhile, I've been hesitant, taking tentative steps in the right direction. 

but inching ever closer. 

here's the lesson, the summary, and really, the entirety of the path I'm on: 

I will step back and let Him lead the way.

there is is, all that's asked of me, to maybe just be a little less stubborn, relaxed, and trust that there is, indeed, a better way than my own. It's simple. but not always easy. I am tired of the struggle though, and I'm ready to let go. I realize now that there's a better way to live in the world -

and so I will step back...and Let Him lead the way. 

finally.
