The Way of trust is a movement into obscurity, into the undefined, into ambiguity, not into some predetermined, clearly delineated plan for the future. The next step discloses itself only out of a discernment of God acting in the desert of the present moment. The reality of naked trust is the life of a pilgrim who leaves what is nailed down, obvious and secure, and walks into the unknown without any rational explanation to justify the decision or guarantee the future. Why? Because God has signaled the movement and offered it His presence and His promise.
~ Brennan Manning, Ruthless Trust
After reading Alice Steinbach's memoir through Europe, I decided to borrow her title, "Without Reservations: The travels of an independent woman" for my blog. Having never been a blogger before, I am a bit anxious about committing my thoughts to a computer for all the world to see, but hopefully, it will provide a space to share my continued journey on the "Way of Trust."
