Sgt. King, a good friend of mine, once told me that he has learned to lift up his life to God with the palm of his hand facing down, so that he wouldn't be able to hold on, rather, able to let God do what he has in store. I later learned how right he was. I had my whole life figured out. Ever since I was small, I knew I was going to be an Air Force Pilot and have a wife and kids. Nothing was going to change this. Until one night, I was praying to God, and I asked Him for a career as a pilot, a healthy wife and kids, just like I always did. However, that night, I added, “If this is Your will, Lord.” Suddenly, a voice popped into my head, and voiced one word...Priest. Ever since that night, I have learned to give my life fully to God, turn my palm face down, for He has blest me abundantly.
