Navigating Around the Fog

If you can't tell by my lack of frequent entries, I'm still working the "dual shift" of both jobs. Ty spent the weekend (Friday night - Sunday morning) with his father. I spent the weekend putting in long hours to try to get my client's books in order for the audit. I'm starting to get frustrated that things are just seem to be getting worse instead of better. I was supposed to meet Ty's father at 8am at our normal pick up point half way between my house and his. About 20 minutes into my drive he calls and tells me he will be 2 hours late on a 1 hour drive. Great. I had already mentally planned my day and this was cutting into it. I also prayed prior to leaving the house and asked God to take control of my project....(do you ever get to a point of frustration that you stop praying for specific things and just say "God I need help"??...that's where I'm at). After getting up from prayer I realized that I didn't do any grocery shopping or cooking for the coming week. So the 2 hour delay came in handy (as God had to point out to me). I finished my Christmas shopping for Ty, picked up dinner, and developed a game plan for working through my client's data. I realized how God has the ability to work situations out in the middle of confusion. This morning, I felt like I was trying to organize my confusion and God made it so that I took care of everything I needed to do. 

Then on the drive back home, I looked to see how foggy it was on the road. Out of caution, I wanted to drive slower because I couldn't see more than 20 ft ahead of me. And as I kept driving, I was reminded of my limits as a human. I could see no further than the fog allowed, but I know that God can see through the fog and navigate me around any unseen obstacles. I know that God is able and He knows what we don't. I just have to get to a point where I completely trust Him and lean on Him for ALL things. What would it be like for me to live a stress free life...a life where I completely trusted God for all things? This sounds like a concept that I should try....

1. Wake up in the morning.
2. Start the day in prayer prior to doing anything else. Ask for wisdom, guidance, and for God to order my steps.
3. Go about my day, listening for direction in every situation and not operating or making decisions without first consulting God.

This will be an adjustment, a conscious adjustment, from my normal activities, but I think it will be good for me. I want to see how long I can go without being stressed by way of trusting God for every and anything....

That being said, I get retested for cancer in about 2 weeks....this is going to be an interesting exercise.
