We recently made some pretty huge changes in our life that include new schools, jobs, and different structures to our days. Fun things like that. I took a huge leap leaving full-time employment. Was I doing what was best? Are my kids going to handle the change ok? It is hard to make big decisions that impact more people than just yourself. We leapt, and I was terrified.
The first couple weeks were fairly uncertain, but the change was good. We saw immediate changes in the kids. More home time, less stress for them, and that's good.
As time is going by, one Bible verse continually pops into my head. "BE STILL and know that I am God." When I go with the flow and let the things happen that we planned for and agonized over, things turn out well. Better even, than what we were hoping for. When I start to step in and meddle into our already laid plans, our carefully laid plans, well things start to fall apart. Funny.
As my worrying brain takes over and I try to "fix" things that don't need fixing, nothing goes right anymore and our plans and hopes don't follow through. As I begin to let go of my worries and trust that things will go right, well they actually DO go right. Our plans are fulfilled and often things end up better than we expected. And I know in all this that God is simply telling me, "See, I've got this. You listened to me and jumped into the unknown. I will see you through. BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
I am comforted and hopeful for the future. I know who's got my back. I may be a little hard-headed, ok maybe a lot hard-headed, but I have a God that doesn't give up. And for that I am thankful. :)
