Trust
This year I'm trying something new.
I'm going to try and focus on one word for a year and see how and what God does in Clay and I's lives through that word.
The word we have chosen for this year is Trust.
I am a control freak. I like to plan, I like to know when things are going to happen (or not). I feel it necessary to try and control things that I shouldn't, I like to know things ahead of time, etc, etc...
Though some of these things can be good, some of these things are also huge flaws. For example, my need to feel in control of the car even when I'm not driving (Number one backseat driver, right here). Clay will attest to the fact that I need to chill out and let go of that control. Or when I think I have the evening planned out and something changes or comes up, I suddenly feel uneasy and a tad upset because things aren't going the way I want. The way I planned.
So I want to focus on trust. Trusting Clay, trusting my friends, my family, but most importantly, trusting in God and what He has planned; that its okay that I don't know what is around every corner.
Clay and I are still young, freshly married, and we have so much ahead of us. This is exciting but also nerve wracking to me because neither of us really know what we want to do with our lives yet. We don't know where we will be within the next year or so, what jobs we will or won't have, what dreams we may be pursuing...and that's okay.Or at least that's what I'm trying to learn.
We have a heavenly Father that loves us and will guide us in where we should go if we just listen to Him and trust in Him.
Let go of control.
Trust.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct you path.
Proverbs 3:5-6
