My favorite things are the way Emma walks, (new walking babies are the most adorable things!), that God blessed Jon with free left-handed golf clubs from a sweet friend at my work, and that God knows our future. The last one there takes the cake. I am practicing trusting God. I am reminding myself that He hasn't forgotten that we want to move and He isn't surprised about the info that Jon's boss sprang on Jon. I am choosing to know deep and for real that God cares. God knows. God doesn't forget. And God has a plan. It's a kingdom plan, so it often doesn't look like what I want it to, but it is the best plan for God's design.
I am going to make myself trust God as we proceed with looking at the two houses we are interested in. I am choosing to trust that God will open or close those doors of opportunity and that luck has nothing to do with it. I know that God is answering our prayers for wisdom as we house hunt and will continue to help us see what to do about Jon's job. I am always thankful for prayers from others for these things as well. I trust that God wont' forget and He won't withhold His wisdom, but in my humanness I misinterpret and I pray not only that God shows us what to do, but that it is so obvious that we get shoved in the right direction!
I like how you put that... I choose to trust. Like so many other things - love, forgiveness, faithfulness, gentleness, etc. - trust is a choice. We forget... I forget.... and assume if I don't feel trust, I must not be able to or be willing to. It's like John Piper says: You don't stop tithing when you don't want to tithe anymore. You continue to tithe and pray for the desire to come. Thanks for this lesson on trust. I learn so much from you!
