If a fishing trip is measured by time with your grandson, yesterday’s trip was 5 stars;  if it is measured by the amount of hiking done, it was again 5 stars; if measured by fish caught, well–1- 12″ star is it.  I have several muscles aching this morning, but my heart is happy and his seems to be too.

God is seemingly teaching me about trusting and obeying.  The meeting coming up tomorrow evening and some other things of current have me on edge.  In times past I would be quiet, anxious and withdrawn.  Again, God’s message this morning was to trust and obey.  This isn’t a big message in words, but it is huge in assignment.  I sit here knowing the moment I quit this message I will need to have multiple reminders to stay surrendered.  Each anxious moment can be the reminder–God is telling me.  It is funny to think how long I’ve lived hiding the anxiety rather than using it as a tool of God.  I’m going to give it a try.  I’ll have to give you a report on its success.  For today–trust and obey.
