Glorious Unfolding

I got in my car and headed to work one morning a couple of weeks ago and was feeling like my journey with God, in respect to the changes I hoped he'd make in me and in my life, weren't clear on the horizon.  I was feeling frustrated about the time I had wasted in my life trying to do things on my own and not following the path God would have had me go all those years.  As I turned out of my subdivision, I turned on the radio and a song started in perfect timing with the words, "Lay your head down tonight.  Take a rest from the fight.  Don't try to figure it out.  Just listen to what I'm whispering to your heart.  Cause I know this is not anything like you thought the story of your life was gonna be and it feels like the end has started closing in on you.  But it's just not true.  There's so much of the story that's still left to unfold.  And this is going to be a glorious unfolding."  The song was  Steven Curtis Chapman's Glorious Unfolding and I felt God speaking to me through it.  The doubt that had crept in was pushed out by the joy and hope of knowing that, in the here and now, God can still do great things with my life.
