I blame trust.
I leaned into it.
Silly goose.
It burned.
Cut deep.
Shattered dreams.
“Close the doors,” I prayed.
They opened wide.
If I had not trusted, things might be different.
Or not.
Maybe worse.
There’s no way to know.
No way to know the rest of the story until the end.
Were the open doors a way of escape?
How will He put the pieces back together?
Because He will.
He said so.
And He can be trusted.
He can be.
He will do.
And there’s only one thing left.
I claim trust.
I lean into it.
It’s all I have.
Joining Lisa Jo for five free-flowing minutes on the word prompt trust.
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. ~Psalm 9:10
And it’s all we need, hmm? Love this, Sandy!
All. Yes.
One of my favorite quotes is: “Sometimes we don’t know that God is all we need until God is all we have.”
I pray that we will all continue leaning on Him, trusting in Him with everything.
A most well-written post. I mean that.
Love that quote. Praying that for us, too, Denise. Thank you.
Oh, Sandra, thank you for another honest write…trust that feels like it has been betrayed is hard…for me, trust in God has been a gradual, slow, on-going messy process.
I think it’s often like that, Dolly. Gradual. Growing.
Well done. I know the feeling, like the trust was a mistake, but we’ll never know what could have been if we’d taken another road. He is able. We have to trust He will honor our heart, and again, always, He is able. Trust.
This is the first week I’ve tried the five minute Friday. Was fun, and I learned. As usual, the pen takes another direction than the one you plan…
That He will honor our heart. Oh, I needed that. Thank you, Maureen.
This Five Minute thing–yes, it’s an adventure on its own.
Stuck for words, but knowing the reality of this.
I know…
Trust in Him is enough. At times trust doesn’t seem like the right option but ultimately it is.
Amen to that, Wanda.
This…this is what I was trying to say. You have such a way with words Sandy.
Awwww, Linda.
I love comparing trust to a wild goose. Did you know that in some ancient writings, the Holy Spirit is referred to as a wild goose?
Really? That is so cool. I’m going to visit Mr. Google now. š
