"And the catch is......"

The weekend went by way too fast for me. One thing that sticks out in my mind is something that happened Friday night. William asked me if he could go clean his motorcycle and clean the garage. I told him yes. He looked at me. I said "What?'. "And the catch is.....", was his reply. "No catch, go work in the garage if you want." William gave me a look and said " I don't like this. You are scaring me." I laughed at him and told him that there was no catch and that he could go work in the garage all he wanted. I could see him point as to why he questioned me. In the past I had always given him a "Yes, but you need to do this first" answer. When he questioned me it was out of habit. Needless to say he went to the garage and spend a few hours cleaning his motorcycle and the garage.
Looking back on this account it makes me think about how much I really was a control freak. It's pretty bad when your husband wants to do something and for him to get it he's got to do something else first. When did I ever give him just some "me" time? He so desperately needs it. We all do.
Today this got me thinking about how much do we really trust that God will give us what he says. "What's the catch, God?" Hmmmmm......
I know I have personally questioned God about some things. Even when I know He's really going to do what He says He's gonna do.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." Isa. 55:8-9 NIV
What a powerful verse! God is so much higher than us. He has such better thoughts and ways than we do. Who wouldn't want to put their trust in someone that is higher? I certainly do.
Also, my husband is just a little higher than me in the chain of household and I certainly need to put my trust in him. I need to trust that he is going to make the right decisions for our family. He needs to know that I trust him to make those decisions. If there isn't trust in a marriage then how can it bloom?
Note to self: Trust that God has my back! He is looking out for my family and everything that we need.
