God is in control.

My taste and choice 

to hunt the hill with water carves

and chose to pursue 

the cherished friend

My day is my quilt

of cleaned teeth and 

accomplished this and this

it is all I own

And I can be told that

every thread is woven 

by a Loom I did not own

and I can sit beside the darkness

and know that my tastes were 

not my chosen, but instead

a choice made long ago

before even my parents were. 

And I was deported.

and found kindred callings

on rocks and pillow talks.  

And I will still call it mine. 

and the Loom will wait.  

Prov. 16:9, In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Prov. 16:33, “The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.”

James 4:13-15, “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow, we shall go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” ¹⁴Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. ¹⁵Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that.”

Jer. 17:9, "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?"

Rom. 11:33-36 :

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
