Three weeks ago my ideas were different. My plans unaltered.
I was organized. Everything was under control. It was all laid out perfectly
(or so I thought).
But then things started happening.
And all of a sudden, within one week, I found a bunch of my plans flipped on their heads.
Dead end.
And I felt myself straining a bit at the reins. Because my personality likes to be on top of things, be organized, have things under control.
I hear a still, small Voice.
Just trust Me…
But,
of course! Of course all things are really in the hands of His Majesty.
Yet sometimes, despite all the evidence from the past, I forget.
It's unfortunate. And it's unnecessary.
And so for a short while after each thing arose, I questioned. I wrestled. I surrendered.
But within me echoed and reechoed those simple words.
Just trust Me…
And so I trusted Him to see where I couldn't. Because obviously I didn't understand.
And He did.
He always does…
I'm the slow one. The blind one.
And now looking back only a couple weeks later, most everything has already been resolved.
This week my A&P teacher overrode the system to get me into her class for fall semester.
The microbiology teacher said I can probably get into her class and lab too.
And all that after I wasn't able to register for the classes I wanted.
The Phoenix convention center was able to accommodate my date change.
My other GYC-related meeting was rescheduled despite conflicts at both ends.
The family of one of my volunteers is going to be in the area exactly during our site visit.
And all that after my GYC site check and meeting plans had been unexpectedly interrupted.
And God's voice echoes again.
Just trust Me.
