Trust In The Lord

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Those who are aware may wonder, why the shift from one website to another, considering I kept the name and posts. Rebranding, to be honest, there's nothing more to it. I was not satisfied with the previous website and the logo anymore so I changed it all.

Any regrets? None but one, losing some amazing comments. There is one I specifically will miss reading over and over again."...never stop writing, I trust your pen". This one was from my older brother.

Now although I did not fully honour this, considering I took a break for months, I honour it now as I picked up the pen again.

As I was working on the website and layout of this blog in the past month, this comment kept crossing my mind. Knowing there is so much I want to achieve this year alone (as mentioned in the previous post). So much was already left undone and fearing that I would fail to accomplish what I want to, I couldn't help but postpone so much. In my head, it is way better to not do it at all, than to do it and fail.

After much thought, I realise now that it is the fact of not really knowing what the final destination will look like, and as a result, not knowing if the steps I'm taking are leading me in the right direction. Better yet, should I even be taking these steps? Then again, I can't do absolutely nothing and expect everything to fall into place, or can I?

As a daughter to the greatest author, the Bible encourages His to trust in Him at all times and in all things. Though this is something I struggle with right now, praying for His guidance and His peace brings such calm even in chaos, it never makes sense. In fact, it scares me to experience that peace, while consciously knowing things are upside down.

But I have learnt that in times when I am unable to trust my own pen, it is probably because this is the point I hand over my rights as an editor and return the pen to the greatest author. He knows the story, I only live as it unfolds. So maybe I stopped writing because I wanted to be the author.

I am truly excited to watch the author Himself write and when He allows me the right to edit with caution, then I will. May I learn to trust my pen, as I'm learning to trust His pen.

Thank you for joining Unpoken Gist. I hope yours will be a frequent visit.

With love and anticipation.
