Lately, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of finding a job outside the house. I even tried Uber, but it just wasn’t the right fit. The stress of it all became too much, so I finally broke down and surrendered the situation to the Lord.

The response I received was immediate and clear. It was also consistent with what I had been hearing all along: No.

At first, this didn’t make any sense to me. We need income. Our business is still in its rebranding and rebuilding phase, which takes time. Meanwhile, we’re living with someone else, and we have just over a month to either find a place or figure out alternative living arrangements. To say things don’t look good right now would be an understatement.

Yet here I am, being told to trust Him.

As crazy as it sounds, I’ve decided to believe God. I’m choosing to trust Him, no matter how dire the situation looks. I know that His plans are always better than mine, even when I can’t see the path ahead.

The outcome may be uncertain, but one thing is sure: God knows what’s best. And I’m learning to rest in that truth.
