Those of you who know me are probably thinking, “Oh no, Joy’s in trouble!” And you would be correct. Last night we had a long “family meeting” (aka, team meeting). I am being asked to trust our leader with everything; ministries we do, information we receive, etc. AIM is a company who I have just recently (less than a year) come to know and I am still not submitting my 100% trust to them; I need to know them more before I do that. And, now I am being asked to give 100% trust to our group leader. I don’t even know him that well. If I don’t even trust AIM and the people that they have hired then how the heck am I supposed to trust a fellow world racer? Is it unreasonable to expect to get to know someone before I blindly follow? I feel myself pushing back because I feel like I am being forced to do something I don’t feel comfortable doing. Until I know you and I know your heart and your intentions I can’t trust you with everything. I trust my friends in Austin because I know you. I have spent time with you, I have seen you in different situations and have observed how you react and handle things. I know who loves me and who doesn’t. I don’t know that about anyone here yet.
Am I crazy? Am I being unreasonable? Am I the only one having trouble following blindly?
