I try to be short, sweet, and to the point on most everything in my life. That is, everything that has nothing to do with my emotional well being. I was taught as a child to walk it off. Pick your self up and dust yourself off. There was never any other option and no plan. This train of thought has done me well for twenty years, but I think its time for a change.
Proverbs 3:5 reads "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."
I may occasionally act like I know it all, but lets be honest. Can I be honest here? I know nothing. Well, I know how to make business plans and how to make you want to buy something that you truly don't need (Marketing major). And quite frankly this will get me no where in my eternal life. I can't imagine trying to market anything to a group of people who already have the greatest gift ever created.
In the last few weeks I have been taught that trust is an on or off issue, no grey areas allowed. Nick Callaway related it to a light switch, on or off. I find myself playing the childish role of trying to get the light switch to balance perfectly in the middle where it creates just enough light to see. This mentality has gotten me nowhere real fast in the past few months of my life and with out a doubt, it's gotta change.

Funny things happen when the lights are turned on. You can see just about everything. The good, the bad, the ugly, the hidden, and the feared. But if I am going to trust him with everything, I need to be able to see everything. He created it, he knows how to deal with it. Even when the sun is out and everything seems crystal clear in my life, there are still things hidding in the shadows. So for the rest of my life, I'm leaving the light on.
