Squirrels spend their entire lives up a tree, jumping from limb to limb. They are very agile and very comfortable in that precarious place. Most of us are not comfortable being up a tree and we are certainly not comfortable in going out on a limb. But as the old saying goes: “Why not go out on a limb? That’s where all the best fruit is.”

Life is about experience and learning from those experiences...and learning to trust...to have faith. True faith means believing in things that are invisible, but not non-existent.

Learning to trust God seems to require learning to stop relying on your human self so much. It means having a constant conversation with God. It means taking time to listen to God. It means giving up worry, fear, and drama. It means no longer blaming God for our wounds. It means we stop asking, “why?” and begin to think about “why not?”

Romans 8:28, "And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into His plans". (Hmmm, that sounds like Divine Order to me!)
