Yes......BUT

As I have written about before, I have a hard time letting go. I like a plan and I like to know what the plan is going to look like. For the past several weeks I have really been trying to focus on really letting go and letting God. I know that sounds trite, but for me it is a true test of obedience. I found myself giving God a lot of "BUT" responses. Yes Lord, I will follow you....BUT. Yes Lord, I trust you.....BUT. My pastor is doing a series of lessons on Sunday mornings about what it means to follow God. It has been a very timely, thought provoking series for me personally. Sunday morning he spoke specifically about answering God with a "yes....BUT". The BUT really negates the yes. Either I trust Him to lead me or I do not. Period. No BUT. I am so thankful that God is so patient with me! I really do feel like I have had some major victory in my life with this issue but it has been a long time coming. :) I want to answer when He calls with a YES. Period.
