Are you stuck, trying to make a step toward something in your life but you just don’t know what to do next? You’ve been busy making lists, strategizing, asking everyone their opinion…and maybe that’s the problem. Dan Stone has some wisdom for where to turn when you’re treading water.
Good to see Dan again. I was in his first Life Skills class this past summer. I am a list maker. I keep an elaborate planner complete with stickers and color coded events and goals. Most of the time it helps me stay focused, but there are times it causes me distress also. I am a perfectionist and when it comes to a decision that I am truly torn about, I will sometimes do exactly as Dan described. It is in those moments that my faith is tested. Do I lean on God? Do I lean on my planner with all it’s frills and colors? Do I lean on other’s opinions of me? Taking a step back and a deep breath and just stop working at it makes a huge difference. That is, I think, what is meant by giving it to God.
