The trust game.

Ever play the trust game? You know the one where you have to fall back and let some complete stranger, or annoying younger sibling, catch you? We're having to trust God with some major things right now, and let me tell you, it makes me nervous. The problem, I find, is allowing God to be God and letting Him organise our up-coming life changes. Obviously we've done everything we practically can to ensure that these next few changes in our lives will go as smoothly as possible. Nevertheless, it's hard putting theory into practice, letting go and believing with 100% certainty, that God can, in fact, be trusted to be faithful and take care of us completely. This is much, much scarier than the trust game in my opinion, because I can't stop myself from falling at the last minute, catch myself and just land in a foetal position at the feet of the dismayed catcher, who by now knows I don't trust them.

This is different. It requires us to let go completely, and close our eyes at the last minute before being caught......right? That's the theory, and it's a good one, because I know that I know that I know that it works, because I've been caught so many times. I've also caught myself and landed in said foetal position, but only to be placed on my feet again gently and patiently and given another go at the trust game.

I'll let you know the outcome of all this. I know it will all work out beautifully, and that we'll soon be crying and laughing all at the same time, which is pretty much what we're doing at the moment with all that's happening around us. I'll keep you updated. (Nervous laugh.)
