One thing I think I've learned about God over the past year is His amazing habit of completely turning something around when you think all is lost.

I really wish I could explain to you all what happened to me yesterday and the context within which it happened, but I can't. Excuse me if this gets a bit cryptic...

As I woke up yesterday morning my life was headed in 1 of 2 directions.  To say that I didn't like either of these directions was an understatement.  Looking at my future down either road was like staring into the abyss, and I was terrified of both.

In human terms there were only these 2 options. 

It never ceases to amaze me how God will wait to the last minute and pull the third, maverick, wild card option out of the bag, and it's always perfect.

So yesterday, as I was sat down and told what was going to happen to my life, I just felt relief.  I've never understood the metaphor of relief washing over you like a river until yesterday, but as I was spoken to, that's exactly what I felt, it was like a breeze gently permeating through my body, and it was perfect.

The third way happened, and I wish I could tell you what the third way is, because it never happens.  But it happened to me.  It sure helps to have the creator of the universe on your side huh?

It's gonna be hard, but it's also gonna be fun :o)

As I've been praying over this whole situation, God has been saying to me very clearly "Trust me".  I've been so blessed to hear these words but there's been (if I'm being honest) a large part of me that didn't want to hear "Trust me", it wanted to hear "What you want to happen will happen" because "Trust me" always means amazing things in the long term, but it can mean hardship in the short term.

Never forget the availability of the third way.
