Have you been frogging lately?

No I don’t mean by going out to the creek and trying to gig a frog. I mean real frogging as in Fully Rely On God.

I did try gigging once – I wasn’t a fan. My co-partners in crime had much more experience than I did and didn’t seem at all bothered by the squeal the frogs made as they jabbed them, or the fact they squirmed and wiggled on the end of the gig. I on the other hand was very bothered.

We often act the same way as we try to learn to fully rely on God. We squeal when He speaks to us and wiggle and try to get off the hook. We are convinced we can do it on our own and know what’s best for us. It is only when we realize we’re not doing so well on our own that we attempt to put in all in His hands.

I’ve often thought how much different my life might have been if I had learned to rely on Him more. How many mistakes could I have avoided if I had gone to Him for guidance before I made decisions? How much heartbreak could I have avoided if I had listened to His voice and done things His way? Probably tons and tons!

So I am trying to learn to fully rely on him. I am trying to learn to stop and listen before I speak and act. I hope I can learn to lean on Him and give Him my worries and fears. Being the stubborn, independent person I am it’s not easy. But I am still a work in progress and I am still learning. I think I’ll try frogging today.
