Who Can You Trust?

I blame my mom for a lot of things, the most awesome being my love of books and music.  My mom had music playing in our house during waking hours and that lady read to us four kids like it was going out of style.  She is a professional reader now and gets paid to tutor kids in reading...but I digress.  

Ministry, as of late, has left me feeling like I am crawling toward the throne of grace every day to lay my burdens at Christ's feet.  Let's just say church planting is not for the faint of heart.  Working with national pastors brings it's fair share of challenges, joys, and heartache.  We are in a time of heartache and sadness and shock.  It has just proven to be another event where we can proclaim that God is good in all seasons, that He never changes amidst our ever-changing circumstances, and we can trust that His plan is better than any plans of ours.

I posted similar sentiments of Ann Voskamp's on Facebook the other day and a sweet missionary friend on the other side of the world encouraged me with a song.  I had never heard Lauren Daigle's "Trust In You" but quickly fell in love.  Belting out a song is like a balm to my soul and there is nothing better, in my humble opinion, than truth sung by a sultry alto voice.  So like my mom, I am blasting this for myself and my family to hear on repeat.  Below are the words:  

  Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what you see

I try to win this war
I confess, my hands are weary, I need your rest
Mighty warrior, king of the fight
No matter what I face you're by my side

When you don't move the mountains
I'm needing you to move
When you don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When you don't give the answers
As I cry out to you
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in you

Truth is you know what tomorrow brings
There's not a day ahead you have not seen
So let all things be my life and breath
I want what you want Lord and nothing less

When you don't move the mountains
I'm needing you to move
When you don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When you don't give the answers
As I cry out to you
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in you
I will trust in you

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foudation
The rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
You plans are always good
There's not a place where I'll go
You've not already stood

When you don't move the mountains
I'm needing you to move
When you don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When you don't give the answers
As I cry out to you
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in you

I will trust in you
I will trust in you
I will trust in you
