Trust. I like to think I have a lot of it. But the problem is that trust is a very scary thing. The reason it's scary is because trusting is essentially humbling yourself and giving up control over some aspect of your life.
In this case, it's my future.
As our church continues to pursue the will of God, one of the questions I must face is the future of my job. While I know that the LORD will continue to provide and care for me, it can sometimes be challenging to trust in Him.
More importantly, I am forced to trust that the LORD will take care of our church's youth. Some of the options that our leadership is looking into would sadly have a negative impact on our youth ministry.
That being said, I ultimately trust that God has an awesome plan for the future ministry of this congregation. While we might not recognize or know what that looks like quite yet, we do know that it will "work for the good of those who love Him." (Romans 8:28).
In addition to discerning the future of our ministry, this week has also hosted a few other difficult decisions on a personal level. Again, I trust that the LORD will continue to guide me in the decisions, but that doesn't make them any easier.
Finally, our band played our last show for a few weeks. It was a great venue (Louie's Bar) with some great people and great music. We look forward to taking a few weeks off from playing live in order to focus on recording our album. I cannot say enough about how awesome God has been to Misfit Plaid and how great my bandmates are.
Please continue to pray for our church as we seek some divine direction.
Always Trusting,
-B
