I am a recovering Type A personality, so being in control and understanding every moment of every minute of every hour of my life is important to me. As a result of all of these changes and the need to make decisions I felt myself slipping back into Captain Jettie mode (I'm your hero!).
I know where that road can lead, so I decided to confide in a friend about this struggle. She listened to my concerns, asked questions that challenged me, encouraged me…and most importantly pointed me to the cross. The following day I met up with a good friend and we had personal devotion about faith and trusting in God. Today after bible study a sister told me to lean not on my understanding but to trust in the Lord. Literally 10 minutes later a friend texted me to read Proverbs 3:5-6 and i look on facebook and another friend posted an encouraging video.
So in a nutshell this video describes my mood. Last night I felt like my prayers were ricocheting off of the walls in my room. I couldn't hear Gods voice. Yet today I am so thankful that God has reminded me that I must Trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6 )
