Trust Me

Have you ever wanted something – really wanted – yet you weren’t sure how to get it – or if you could? You knew it’d be a gift and trust was your first step?

Have you ever wanted something – really wanted – yet you weren’t sure how to get it – or even if you could get it? And felt trust was your first step? Then this post is written for you.

Yea, me too. And the hardest part of this story is it isn’t something money can purchase. Do you identify with that? Or are you wondering what someone can so passionately yearn for that money cannot buy?

Great question – So here I go.

Peace. Yes, I long for the peace of God to be present in each and every moment of my life, guiding and guarding every step and decision.

Do you want that in your life too?

We all experience a life full of unsettling events and moments that both define and refine who we are and who we become.

Imagine…

The toddler cracking her head open and blood gushes
pushing your peace out the door
as your knees buckle and you hit the floor,
stooping, scooping and careening to the ER
Thank God, I’ve got this car.

And you hear Trust Me…

The little one playing soccer chases the ball into the street
as a jeep speeds towards her
and your heart drops
as you wail STOP!

And you hear Trust Me…

The teenager is way past his curfew
your mind sees scenes that ought not be.
anger meets relief as the garage door raises.
“Oh praise God” and “you’ve done it now”
both rush through your head.
Wow! Dread and thankful praise mingle
as you envisioned a massive mangle.

And you hear Trust Me…

The college-aged kiddo goes who knows where…
Oh momma, don’t go there!

And you hear Trust Me…

You’ve raised your child(ren) the best you knew how with what you had at the time.

Trust Me.

Pardon?
