Let go...and trust.

I know the time is coming in my life when I'll have to let go. Let go of my daughter to be a Jr. high kid...to date...to grow up and get married (someday, a LONG time from now). The process of growing up demands a letting go. I am in that place with my schooling and ministry, too. A while back it became evident that in order to study, to do the daily tasks around Zion coordinating and getting youth programming ready to go, and to take the lead of our Sunday night partnership with Redeemer called Veritas (http://veritas-dsm.blogspot.com) I needed to let go of some aspects of what I had traditionally done as the youth guy.

Letting go demands that I trust -- trust God to lead, trust Him to provide great volunteers (which I am CRAZY thankful for that He has done just that!) to be carrying out the face-time ministry tasks, and that I trust Him to continue to give me what I need to get everything done. Letting go, in every area of my life because of my belief in Jesus, demands that I trust God to take care of the details. That is hard...really hard...but seems that growing up, even in faith life, takes some hard things to accomplish the task.
