Aparigraha: nonpossessiveness 6

In the 12 step program we practice the concept of letting go and letting God.  This is our third step, turning our will and our lives over to God to handle, and enjoying the ride of our lives.  We cannot do this if we are attached to the results.  I have to keep in mind that God has bigger and better plans for me than I am able to consciously grasp at this time, and that is a good thing.  Life is a beautiful story that unfolds full of drama, comedy, suspense and music.  It can’t all happen at once.  Then it would not be a story.  If I don’t have exactly what I I think that I need right this second, it is either because it would but the story out of sequence, or because there will be a plot twist, and something better is going to happen.  Today I am going to be unattached to the story, I am going to let God write it, and I am going to participate but focusing on the next indicated step.  As long as I hit my mark, the scene will be perfect.
