Resolution of Trust

First of all, sorry I have not been able to update you all very often. Here is the latest...
We flew down to Texas and Adam had a second interview at a camp near Dallas for their Recreation Director position- they and we are praying about it. Adam also applied for the Guest Services position at Bair Lake and they and we are praying about that as well. No offers yet, but we will let you know as we know. We are both giving God each day and asking Him to direct our steps. It is an adventure for sure and we are having fun reconnecting with many people..our calendar is packed!

"Our Heavenly Father, He's the One who, knows what dreams lie dormant in the cave of every human heart. He's the One who nudges us forward and invites us to trust Him"
-Robin Jones Gunn

Trust. This is our family's word for 2009. In case you didn't know, I have "trust issues". So, this year I have purposed, with the Lord's prompting and strength, to trust Him much more. As a family we have memorized Proverbs 3:5-6, complete with motions too! "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path." The next verse (vs. 7) says, "Do not be wise in your own eyes..." I have often quoted that verse to Brooke when she insists that she is right about something (and she is not). But, I am realizing that I need to know and live this verse too, because God's thoughts and ways are so much higher than mine (Isaiah 55)! He's the only One who is completely trustworthy and truly knows it all. So often, I try to be the "know it all", which often leads to anxiety and unrest because I am operating outside of the sheltering umbrella of His Sovereignty.
Trust defined- confidence, hope, to commit to.
God, I trust You. I commit my life to You afresh, this day.

In my lack, I will choose to keep giving.
In my weakness, I will stand upright with You.
In my insecurity, I will rest on Your perfection.
In my fear, I will run to Your sheltering arms.
In my need, I will welcome Your sufficiency
In my waiting, I will elevate Your Name.
