This idea of trusting the Lord is a lot harder than it reads. I've been trying to make a plan. I heard the other day that there are two types of dreamers; lazy dreamers and proactive dreamers. Those two types of dreamers scream out at me. When I was in college I felt like I was a proactive dreamer. Everything I was doing was focused towards a goal. If I went to college I could become a teacher, then maybe I could teach at a university- that was my mindset. Eventually I was able to reach part of my dream. I became a teacher, and it was one of the most exciting times in my life. After my first year, my contract ended, and I was left looking for another teaching job, during the summer. There is insecurity not having a teaching job lined up right away.
So in saying all this, I have come to this Bible verse. God has been a constant in my life. I have relied on Him to comfort me during tough times. My own understanding is all confused at the moment, and even though life is good, I am seeking Him for guidance. I must continue to trust that if I apply myself and become a proactive dreamer, that God will see it.
