choosing to trust

So I plan on updating you all about this last quarter, but until I have time to pour that all out, I've just got a tidbit of what God's teaching me to share :)

As many of you know, I took a huge-mongo assessment last week. It's the exam I've been dreading since I started the ASL program last year. It's a pass/fail type of test; you can only move on in the program if you pass. And what scared the heck out of me was last term 19 people took it, and only 2 passed. So it's kind of a big deal and it's something everyone dreads. I studied tons prior to the exam and felt as prepared as I could have been, but I'm still waiting to hear back.

Waiting has always been something I've struggled with, but even with things like this (as simple as waiting for results) God's teaching me to trust His timing :)

The song that played on the radio the other day... especially for me ;)... was Trust in Jesus by Third Day. I've been thinking about how big of a deal TRUST really is. It's huge. Have you ever lost the trust you had for a good friend? It's heartrending. It's awful. You feel betrayed and worthless.

How many times do I casually forget that it's all in God's hands? How many times does it slip my mind that His timing is best? How many times do I forget to trust He's got in under control? Well a lot... And that makes my heart break. I'm doubting the God of the universe. His heart must be rendered. He must feel betrayed and forgotten.

So starting small... just baby steps for now... I'm choosing to trust Him with the results of this test. I believe God prepared me to the best of my ability and I believe I gave it my all. Therefore, I trust that the results will be as HE desires. I choose to trust in Jesus today. :) What can you trust Him with today?
