The exchange went something like that in Church today.
Not sure where my mind was but I was somewhere when I hear Kelly telling me to "get up", I looked around saw a couple of people standing and started to stand up, then I look at her and ask why? She gets a look somewhat like mine and says "Gum, do you have any?" Of course, I can't stop laughing at that point, I tell her what I heard and she laughs and says, "You really would do anything I say?" I had to stop and think and realized that I guess so if it seemed logical.
That brought me to a whole conversation about trust with God. Yep, He and I are on a first name basis. I realized that since my salvation I have begun to trust people, not everyone, but slowly, realizing that not all are good and not all are bad. Long story there. Now I basically believe that all are good but we have to work at it. Back to trust, I trust in God. Period. End of story. Anything He asks I will do without question. I do trust Kelly, but I realized that when it came down to it I questioned her. I don't question God when He tells me to stand up, sit down or speak His truth. This last week was a tough one on me, I followed Trent's edict that we speak to people that we wouldn't normally, and Wow! I got more than I could deal with, and struggled until I thought what am I doing? I took it to God and He gave me the words to speak, and the peace that I needed or as Pastor preached today "rest." After that I felt like there wasn't a person I couldn't share with, of course that is another blog altogether.
Back to trusting people, we got home from Church and Glenn was on Yahoo! talking with Kelly and he tells me to check out his status on Facebook. He wrote that he was changing it cuz Kelly told him too. I found that quite amusing and had to explain it to him so he wouldn't think that I had finally gone over the edge.
God puts people in our lives for very unique reasons, some aren't so nice and some we can't imagine not being there.
I went looking for scripture to reflect what I was thinking today but I couldn't find what I was looking for, Kelly tried to help me, but I can't put into words what I was feeling.
"He has put a new song in my mouth — Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:3
I think this is incredible!
"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him." Psalm 28:7
I guess what I am getting at is that I was wondering "Is it ok to put our trust in other people or is that just reserved for God?"

Wow I love you. Awesome post. You are much safer to listen to God than you are to me. You never know where you will be sleeping if you put complete trust in me. :)
