While those first 3 steps seem to be actions I can do in a space of time, the waiting part seems to be an over-riding, always happening kind of action. And after all these years, I think these steps tend to blur together. For example, all I seem asked to do (#3) these days is wait (#4). As I once in a while hear what God has to say about Fiona's condition in my devotional life (#2), I usually don't feel asked to do much more than wait (#4). And while I used to pray more frequently about all this, I find now that, in the midst of what I see now as long-term challenges much like what most people have in their lives, simply living life while believing God to be good and trustworthy (#1) seems to be an unspoken way of saying to God, I trust you enough to get on with life amidst this problem, knowing your will in it all will be good, acceptable and perfect. So these Trust Trot steps feel more like a fluid constant in many ways. But you're right that they're all important to maintain!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your prayers.<BR/>KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652368175517004405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656800927676328621.post-45669947808891172022008-05-22T20:46:00.000-05:002008-05-22T20:46:00.000-05:00Hi Ken,Sounds like you can use the Trust Trot that...Hi Ken,<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you can use the Trust Trot that Larry Burket talks about and we are learning as a family. 1) Remind yourself that God is good and that you can trust Him, 2) Find out what Has to say on the issue, 3) Do what He says, and 4) Wait for him to work out the circumstances. <BR/><BR/>I am praying and waiting for Finoa's healing also. <BR/><BR/>AJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
