Trusting Him

Hey guys! I'm alive. I know, imagine that. It's been a hot minute since I last posted. I offer no apologies. I've been busy. Is that an apology? I hope not. Honestly, I don't really know what to write about. I've been thinking about a lot of different things lately. Oh, here's a good one. Try this on for size.

Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about trusting God. Probably because I've found myself in a good number of situations where I had to do just that, trust God. Not that I've had some sort of major catastrophe in my life or anything. I've just had a lot of things that should be out of my control that I need to trust God for.

For instance, as I talk to you right now I am probably coughing for the 4 thousandth time today (I am). I'm kinda getting over being sick. Ok, I am getting over it, and I was sick. I've had some sinus issues since this past Wednesday. I'm talking about the spitting out a ton of blood and drainage every morning kind of sinus trouble. I mean, its not really that big of a deal except that I am singing for worship this Sunday at conVerge (my church in Lynchburg). You see, I feel like I should be freaking out. I mean, I've been trying to sing today and it hasn't been good news. I can get a couple of lines out at most until I turn into a huge coughing mess.

Even though I have about 20 hours until I have to start practicing for a couple of hours or so before service I'm not worried. I'm not going to pretend for a second that God isn't completely in control of everything and that He's not going to work all of this out for His glory and my good. This is what it means to trust Him. So many times we tell others or we tell ourselves that God is in control, but we in no way mean it. If we did mean it we would understand that it's meaningless to worry. How can you think for second He doesn't know exactly what's happening and how it will be resolved? Do you think this took God by surprise? I firmly believe it didn't. Well I've got to go get ready for a concert. AdIoS!
