I will say this: when you honestly give something to God, or fate, or whatever--when you honestly let control of something go and quit trying to bend reality to your will, amazing things happen. It's pretty great!
Here's why:
1) you don't have to worry about the outcome anymore, and can relax knowing that the outcome is predetermined and will be the same whether you stress about it or not.
2) amazing things might happen--things you never expected. You will be surprised by good things that come into your life.
3) bad things that happen don't seem so bad anymore. The Avett Brothers describe their past loves:
"And I've known others,And I've loved others too
But I loved them cause they were stepping stones
On a staircase to you"
Everything that happens, even if it seems yucky, is just a step to something else. It's just a matter of seeing the eventual outcome as positive, rather than negative. Everything is temporary, and if you try desperately to stay on that happy step rather than moving forward, you'll just make yourself unhappy in the long run. Because you can't stay there. And who would want to, since the step beyond is better than you can even imagine!

PS-Um, 30 is really old. I'm feeling it today. It's ok, but I'm just saying. It's old.
