God let me trust you.....

here is the deal.  

i have 2 ends to my trust continuum.

none.  or blind.

i either do not trust you or it or them.

or I trust you blindly.

i start with the NO TRUST setting most of the time.

then occasionally, i toggle over to blind trust.

trust is the relational part of faith -  believing people, giving them slack, going with them.

most of the time, I do not trust God.

I want to bound God, tame God, hold God to my definitions & expectations.

i do not trust God in the NOW - instead I stay with my yesterday wrongs or my tomorrow worries.

every once in a while, I let myself realize where this not trusting God gets me - and then I hear these words from Yo Yo Ma deeply in my soul (hat tip to Kester Smith):

Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and then there's got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when you're at the edge, you have to go forward or backward; if you go forward, you have to jump together.
