The Trust God Two Step - A Poem by Sallee Bonham

I can embrace the varying small details in my daily routine
at home, on the job, at church, in my entire life
A range of change is there, but not unwelcome
As long as there is an absence of strife

Having my daily routine dismantled,
causes me to recoil like an overstretched spring in frustration
My mind moves along a maze of outcomes that seem untenable
In my head, I know that the idea is to make me grow within a new creation.

Growth on the job and  growth in Christ
Requires me to follow God's lead through two steps;
Step One is to remove the security blanket of routine – pain
Step Two is to trust that the outcome is in God's hands – gain

In all circumstances, my job is to trust God and know
as my feet learn to follow his lead in this life dance 
He will guide me through the intricate steps of each day
one step faith and two step follow
