Trust is earned

It is easy to say Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Actually doing it is something totally different.

My company picked up a new contract in June which earned us a new full time employee. The downside to things was it needed to be cleaned up in a very expensive way. 103 King Oaks needed to be trimmed that have been neglected for 3-5 years. We cant do this kind of work in house during the busy season which happens to be hurricane season as well. I realistically had two options: Bring my Dad up, or sub it all out. Neither two option were responding to my requests.

I go to the Lord in prayer to hand this problem over to Him. I mean 103 oaks are not too big for Him right? I get a response from my tree contractor. $8,000 is his price!! Umm God, seriously!? Where am I going to get eight grand I thought to myself. A sister in Christ just happens to be on the board and sees the problem I've been put in. They will front $6000 so I'm down to two thousand now, a little easier to swallow. There is some extra work coming in covering this two thousand dollars.

It is so cool to give something up to the Lord, be still(The hard part) and watch Him go to work. It's like he either teaches us a lesson, helps out just enough to get by, or straight out does it for you. I like when it is the latter. I've learned to trust the Lord with my health, work, and my finances. But this falls into some other category. I guess my trust in God is being built up to trust Him in everything. To those who can walk into faith in Jesus with absolute trust, good job.
