What does trusting God look like? I've been asking myself this question over the past week or so, and I've discovered that from the look of things this needed to be asked. Related specifically to fundraising God has reassured me that He is going to provide and I need only to trust Him. So does that mean I sit back and wait God? Do I just take a back seat and watch You work? I'm a control freak sometimes so to be honest this just freaks me out. So naturally I push it to the back of my mind and "move on" with life. Since I can't do anything but wait and watch Him provide then I'll just keep going and try and not think about it. Well that lasted about a day before I was driving myself crazy, and finally I stopped and listened to the Lord and He said "actively trust me." Ok great! I will actively trust you God! Wait, what does that even mean and what does that look like in real life?!?! I've been able to trust Him when there seems to be no other choice but to trust Him, but willingly and actively trusting Him seemed a little foreign. As I talked with God more about actively trusting Him I was able to untangle some of the knots. I sat down and wrote out my vision–fundraising ideas, deadlines that need met and I was able to search through God's Word and find awesome verses! As I wrote out my vision and correlated the verses it was really cool to see how God wanted me to believe and confess His truth over the goals I had. As I was finishing up yesterday I knew the Lord had answered my call for help and had shown me what it looks like to actively trust Him through this process. I love seeing His faithfulness to care about even the small details of my life!
