Trust

This week the walls came crashing down. Setting up the food business from home seems impossible with council regs, and leasing a premises too expensive and risky without testing the business model. I became overwhelmed and panicked. I said "It's not going to work" and decided I needed a plan B. Being Organised and self sufficient, I'm good at inventing plan Bs.

This morning I went for my bike ride with my neighbour. When I got back, my husband had been praying. He relayed to me that he had sensed God saying that I had stopped listening, that I had reached the limits of my trust, and I had stopped putting my trust in God. It was true. Yet hearing it did not leave me feeling condemned, it was freeing. I felt loved, encouraged and strengthened to try again. It connected us again. We both heard a creative new option, which I will now explore.

If this is all in my own head, how come it connects me so deeply to love and to another human being?
