It's Time To Trust God With All Of My Life, Not Just Some Of It

I forgot that I have no power, and that I cannot do anything on my own, without Him.

It's Time To Trust God With All Of My Life, Not Just Some Of It
Taylor Markee

I was on the phone a few weeks ago with someone, and she asked me a simple question, that I typically don't put too much thought into, it was a simple question "how can I be praying for you this week?" I have a lot of Christian friends so that question pops up a lot of times, but when I answered her, I realized that I had to make some changes in my life. My answer was "to help my trust in God, I trust Him, but only with certain parts of my life, I want to be able to confidently trust Him with everything."

I forgot that I have no power and that I cannot do anything on my own, without Him. He is the one that wrote my story and knows what is going to happen in the days to come, while I am left here still wondering. On Friday, I realized, that it's time for me to trust God with EVERYTHING.

I hit rock bottom Friday night. I felt scared, and I could not see a light at the end of my tunnel. It was then when I realized that I was not trusting God. Fear creeps up in our lives when trust is not present. When God told me to trust Him with my future I knew that I should do just that, but there's a certain about of uncertainty that comes with placing that trust. But the comforting thing is that we are placing our unknown future, into the hands of a known God.

It has been an uphill battle every day trying to get to a point where I can confidently say that I trust God. When we trust God, it gives us a better sense of freedom because I don't have to worry about what is going to happen. I can surrender everything worry to Him knowing that He has my best interest in mind.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
