God, How Can I Not Trust You?
by Yvette Chisholm

God
How can I not trust you?!
Is that possible!

You who read my mind
And Jills, and Jacks,
and my neighbours and the birds,
and the bees,
And the soft rays of sun that splashes on the window sill and fills our hearts with joy.

How can I not trust you?

YOU read my mind and theirs and knits it all together
Like a craftivist who goes to work for the common good.
BUT God you are the common good
YOU are the epitome of life itself
You are the Greatest Good ever
And I thank you so humbly

And trust you so completely.

God's Focussed Leading
by Yvette Chisholm

I place one foot before the other
I do not know what my day will bring
God Does

I go to work
Oblivious of what is to come
Oblivious of what is sitting on my desk
Oblivious of what is in my emails
Oblivious of my pupils' needs
God Does

I drive to work
Oblivious of traffic
Oblivious of other road users
God Does

At home
Oblivious of my children’s work
Oblivious of their change in focus
Oblivious of their friendship journeys
God Does

And
That’s enough for me
Because
‘Happy is the man that finds refuge in God’. Psalm 34: 8
