Trust

Trust in the Lord.....here's the challenge..... "with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". What's in a heart to trust the Lord with? In my heart is my family. Do I trust Him? Yes and with new seasons beginning in all of our lives that trust is being stretched and proved. Melissa and Aaron waiting & waiting on the green light to leave for Jamaica; Carla and Mike waiting on the newborn cries of a their first child; Nate just launching out into adulthood, waiting for his plotted course to be revealed. And us just waiting in the wings to be there, adjusting in whatever way is needed. How often I have wondered "what's next? and when is next?" Tried to figure it all out but I always seem to come back to "I don't know". Like walking in a fog, can't see very far ahead, just enough to know the next footstep.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight....our part is an action part, although maybe not the action part we want. Acknowledge Him, honor Him, trust Him with our lives and what will He do? He will make straight our paths, straight as in right, correct. Maybe not easy but honest and upright.
