Say what?.....

Say what?

There moments in our lives that have us wondering..."what, say that again"

You've got cancer...
You won't be able to speak...
You are going to lead these millions of people put of bondage...
I will make you a father of nations...
I will make you a mother of the Saviour.....
Your going to have triplets.....
Your husband has been shot....
There has been an accident....
Your mother/father has had a stroke....
He has terminal depression...
You got straight a's....
You have been accepted to....
Will you marry me....
Your child has ....
Your house was hit by a.....
He has been found....
You have won the lottery....
I forgive you....
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

And we do a double take again and again....those curve balls...some hard to face and others, exhilaration....

Trust.....the little five letter word...so little, yet so big of a concept That we have the opportunity to hear it, feel it, learn it for a life time...each new curve In the road of life seems to highlight that thought of "trust".. We can fight it and reach for our own way or we can wait on that overpowering peace of trust in the midst of good and "unplanned".

 I don't like curve balls, they are unexpected, chancy, and throw me out of my routine...I like steady, known, planned...but, some of those surprises bring life lessons I wouldn't have learned otherwise, even though hard....and some are totally awe inspiring and blessings from the beginning...all planned by a loving God who wants us to look first to Him and rest in His assurances that He cares...and wants what is best for our lives...our earthly journey .....

Thank You, even in those curve balls of life, sometimes it is so hard to trust....I know that You are bringing me to that place again and again...resting in Your presence...
