Last Thursday I volunteered at SPURS (a place that gives riding lessons to disabled people - kids and adults alike). It's really great, I get to work with horses and I get to be a part in giving someone a great experience. Anyway - I got paired to work with a girl named Santana. She is 23 years old, and is totally blind. Amazingly, she is a great rider! But I was thinking, as I helped her saddle her horse, get on, and ride - about how much trust she had to have in me. For all she knew, I could be leading her into some dangerous place, or I could have her horse start running off ... a number of things! It was really cool though, we talked about a lot of things as I told her to turn right, turn left around the cones, sit back as we went up and over the bridge, and helped her put a stuffed animal in a mailbox she couldn't see. She's a great girl, and it was an afternoon I'll never forget.
I was thinking about this more afterward, and realized that this was a lot like our relationship with God. He has our future in the palm of His hand, and is leading us through it. Sure, He might let us go the wrong way to make us learn a lesson, but it's amazing to think about how much we really have to trust God with everything we have. We are totally blind to the future, but isn't it great to know that God is not?!
