Those who know me well know that I am a list-maker. Grocery lists. Errand lists. Long-term project lists. To-do lists for each of my girls, my ministry, our home school, and housecleaning. Sometimes I even make a honey-do list for, well, my honey.
Since my recent trip to Haiti, however, I have been living a different life. I haven’t made a single to-do list since I’ve been home. I have tried to trust God in all things for several months. I realize now that I had trusted Him for most things, but not all things. Conviction started surfacing in my schedule and how I spend my time. List-making was a way of controlling my time, my stress level, and my fear of forgetting something. List-making was not a way of trusting God.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” John 14:1
So now, I’m trusting God for every…
Breath I take
Dollar I spend
Bite I eat
Step I take
Task I do
Word I speak
Moment I live
Knowing each was given to me for a reason and a purpose.
Talk to me: What is God calling you to trust Him for today?
This is a follow-up to an article I wrote a few weeks ago, Getting the Work Done.

Trust that He cares for those in my care even more than I do.
Ooooo...that's a good one, Sheri.
