Que Sera

Would anyone like to know the origin of my blog name? Well, even if you weren't curious, or were not wondering, here's the story anyway. There's a movie by Alfred Hitchcock, one of the few horror movies I would ever see are by him, and it's called "The Man Who Knew Too Much," not to be confused with Bill Murray and "The Man Who Knew Too Little." The movie is not necessarily a horror movie, but Mr. Hitchcock knew how to create suspense. Doris Day is in the movie, and in the end, her son is kidnapped because her husband has information about an assassin that they don't want the police to be notified about. The kidnappers hide in an embassy, and the wife of one of the kidnappers doesn't really want to kill this young boy, so when she hears Doris Day singing a few floors below she tells him to whistle the song, which is one that she had sung to him before. Whistling helps Doris Day's husband to find their son, and saves him from certain death. Here are the words:

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

When I was just a child in school
I asked my teacher, what should I try?
Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?
This was her wise reply

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?
guess what my sweetheart said
Que sera sera

Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother what will I be?
Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?
I tell them tenderly

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

Que sera sera

I think it pretty much relates to life because we have no idea what lies ahead, and have only God who we can put our trust in. The Lord will guide and direct our lives, if we rely on Him. Somethings are not up to us to decide, and we don't know what is before us, that is why it is important to trust the one person who knows our plan. If we follow his example, try our best, and always do what is right, then that is all we can do. We can make our own choices, make our own mistakes, but we always learn from them, at least I'd like to think so. There you go, what will be will be, some things we have no control over, like what will happen to us in the future, but we do control how we react to these trials and obstacles. That's what makes us grow, and mature, hopefully emotionally and spiritually, depending on whether or not the Lord is with you. So I have decided to let the Lord guide me, to let what must happen to happen. Trials happen for a reason, and we might as well make the best out of them.
