Trust and Surrender

Despite missing Mexico like crazy, it's good to be back home. Have a lot of thoughts and ideas swirling around in my head and a few potentionally life impacting decisions to pray over. 

This morning as I was flowing and grooving in my yoga practice (not difficult to do when the background music was Lenny Kravitz), my teacher brought us to a simple pose and had us hold it. "What if I've said all I had to say?" he asked. "What if we just stayed here in this posture for the rest of class?"

My first reaction was panic. My second reaction was irritation. Finally, I gave up and focused on my breath, emptying myself of all expectations and regrets. And stayed in that posture quietly awaiting the next cue. Trusted. Surrendered. And sure enough, we moved onto the next posture. 

Felt God was speaking to me at that moment. I keep awaiting the "next step." Keep wanting to plan ahead. Give it up to God. Focus on breathing in and out, on being present in my life. Stay quietly and await the next cue. Trust and surrender. Above all, keep listening. And he will move me forward when the time is right.
