Trusting God For...

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.
