Half the time I feel like this is just said…
or people just say it (me included) when things get tough or making a decision.
but do we realized the power behind it.
To trust in what we dont see-
I don’t see the girls I work with lives at home.
I dont get to know their futures
10 years
5 years
or tomorrow
(well before it happens)
But I have to trust the Lord knows.
but I dont see my own future
10 years
5 years
I have to walk trusting something.
Something in each of us trust that tomorrow will come.
trust that I will be safe, that I will be ok, trust that where He is taking me I will be more than okay.
A couple weeks ago I kinda freaked out like where will I be in 2 years. its like the magic question people asked me before I left. What will you do when you get back? in my head I was like hey I haven’t even left…
I got asked that this week by my cambodia friend Da. What will I do after two years.
this was probably the first time i was honest- I have NO IDEA. because I really have no idea where I will be in two years.
I dont think anyone does.
we plan
we walk around and act like we know what life will look like.
and you might turn out right.
but i hope you don’t
I hope that you just take a chance and TRUST the Lord.
sit and be still and listen.
Ask Him where He wants you to go. Where He wants to go. Where He wants you to stay. Where He wants you to love.
and you TRUST- in the unseen. in what our unseen God is speaking to your heart- even if it seems impossible. against everything. TRUST!
I would of never got here with out that. and I wouldn’t of changed anything.
I am not saying everyday has been easy.
but everyday I am reminded I am right where I am “suppose” to be.
because I trust in the crazy unseen God.
Even when my dad was in the hospital and everything in me yearned to be back home holding my dads hand.
at the end of the day – I trusted in that small voice that said “i knew this would happen yet I still called you here.”
I have to trust.
I have to trust that the Lord has the girls/boys, that I work with or see on the street, lives in His hands. That he will take care of them. I have to trust. I don’t always get to see the whole story.
That the Big guy upstairs knows what He is doing. We have to trust. Plus it makes things more exciting 🙂
