Just trust me.
I know this seems like it's spiraling totally out of control.
I know it seems like there's absolutely no way any of this will actually happen.
I know you're scared.
I know you think that it's all going to crash and burn, and that I will leave you stranded where you were, picking up the pieces of broken dreams, and hopes unrealized.
I know you're terrified that I won't provide for you, that I won't take care of your family.
It's ok. I already knew you'd fight those battles.
I know you are questioning things the entire way.
I know you're struggling under the weight of what I've asked you to do.
I know you only have a small idea of the sacrifice that I'm really asking you to make.
I know all these things and so much more.
I know what the deep desires of your heart are. I put them there.
I know what your giftings are. I created you with them.
I know the path that your children are going to take in their lives, and it's the path I've laid out for them.
I know how amazing and gifted your wife is. I created her for such a time as this.
I know each one of your kids and the struggles that they're facing far better than you do.
I know when they're going to get teased at school, or be made to feel like an outcast. I'll be with them during those times, and I'll cover and protect them.
I know how long you're going to be with YWAM.
I know what you're going to do after your time with YWAM.
I know what's going on in your friends' minds as they pray and process the move you're making.
I know how to take care of your friends as well as I take care of you.
I know what things make your family thrive.
I know the details of each and every day of your entire life.
I know all of your successes and failures.
I know exactly how you will die.
I know exactly how you will live.
Just trust me.
