Trust

 Have you ever been practicing yoga and were cued to a pose where you felt: wait a minute, my body is not going to take that shape?!

When I am in a yoga class, I always like to see the full picture, I like to know where I am going, where I will end up. Have you felt this way too? Sometimes it's hard for me to lean into this discomfort of not having all the answers. But the yoga sequence is for the teacher only to see the whole picture. It's the same way in life. God is the only one who knows our journey from beginning to end. He sees the whole picture. We can see snippets, but mostly we must trust and lean into Him, knowing that all things will work together for our good when we love Him. 

Today in my yoga practice I was cued into a familiar pose, but I hadn't taken the shape in some time. While it was lovely on the right side of my body, on the other I knew it was my tight side. However I know it's not helpful to put labels on myself. So I trusted God, leaned into Him as I breathed and gently moved with ease into the pose. 

Do you know what I found? That the pose felt just as good as the left side of my body! My body is amazing and is capable of change and growing. It was amazing to see God in my day by trusting Him completely. By keeping my mind open to possibilities. And realizing that just because this pose may have been slightly challenging in the past on the left side of my body, it didn't mean that that story was true. This I know because I was able to fully surrender deeply into the pose. Trust in Him.
