27-28 So where does that leave our proud Jewish insider claims and counterclaims? Canceled? Yes, canceled. What we’ve learned is this: God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.
I think I am running the parade. Not proudly, but anxiously. I am not letting him set the pace. I am praying and asking that God help me let go of my tight grip on the direction in my life and let him set the pace.

I think you nailed it. It comes back the thing we've both written about again and again. Are we on his plan, or on ours? If we are truly on his, we would be completely open to his pace and not be trying to force our own.
