Ready to jump

I've decided to start blogging. I kinda did for awhile because it was something some of my friends were doing so I decided to start doing it to. I know, I know if your friends all jumped off a bridge would you? But what can I say at least it was blogging not jumping off a bridge. Haha So a lot has changed and is changing in my life right now. I'm leaving and starting over new in a new place with new people and its scary. But I have to trust in my God. For he is far smarter than me and seeing as he is all knowing.

I should be able to trust that he knows what he is doing. But it can be hard. We are only human, we don't always make the right choices, we lie and do things that can harm others. I think this is why it can be hard to trust in a God we can't see. It's hard to comprehend the idea that there is one who is truly only looking out for our benefit and knows what is best for us. But he does.

I'm still learning to trust in him, sometimes its easier than others. Like when things are going good in my life, its much easier to trust him. Than when everything seems like a disaster and you can't tell where things are going, its a lot harder to just hand it all over to him and say “Here, take it, I trust you, take my life and do with it as you will” How many of us actually think that when things are going wrong? Our first instinct is to question God, and ask him why this is happening, and assume that it is all a bad thing. But in hindsight we often realize that what we had at the time perceived as a bad thing, actually brought about something amazing. One of my current favorite songs is The Stand and the lyrics go

I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand my soul, Lord to you surrendered
All I am is yours

If only we could take a second and give our heart abandoned to him, surrender our soul to our Lord and let him take control of it all. Not just for a moment, but really give our heart and soul in every moment. Because we are his, and he is just waiting for us to realize this and give it all over to him.

Have you ever had something you were planning go horribly wrong, and you have that one friend you can call and say “hey, can you help?” Then when they show up, everything seems that much easier because you no longer have to carry it all by yourself. We have someone who is willing to take our burden, and carry it for us. We just need to see that God is waiting for that call, he wants to hear us say that we need his help. He wants to take our burden and carry it for us.
