I'm still learning to give all of my trust to God. Trusting His ways over my ways. Trusting His words. Trusting His thoughts. Trusting the Bible like it really is all true. I find myself selectively trusting God. It is easy to follow to God when I sense following His ways makes sense for me...it is another story when His ways get in the way of my ideas.
Most often my ways clash when God when I am wanting to fulfill my self with something. When I am at that crossroad in the road - I try to stop and realize my shallow way of fulfilling myself doesn't compare to what God can fulfill with me -but those moments take trust!! Those are the times I need to jump off my cliff. Deep breath. I need to jump of my cliff trusting myself. And looking back on my journey - every time I have jumped off my cliff - I don't ever remember a time when I wasn't 'caught'.
Moving to Reynolds was for sure a time of jumping off of my cliff. In spite of us wanting to see our family at Reynolds - it was still uncomfortable for us to break out of our suburbia mold. And now that we are at Reynolds - I'll never regret us jumping off of our 'comfort' cliff.
I love showing Sophie and Cole how vulnerable it is live a life radically trusting God. Vulnerable - but oh so worth it.
"Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for loving me so much you want to see my soul in freedom."
Sweetest blessings!!
