I was watching finding nemo and something just struck me.

nemo and dory got eaten by a whale on accident (they happened to be amongst some shrimps. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. okay not funny) and they got stuck in its mouth. Suddenly, the water in its mouth started to drain down his throat and his tongue flipped backwards so they were like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and clung onto its tongue. then the whale made some funny noise and dory was like "okay!" and let go. Nemo grabbed dory's fin immediately and their conversation went like this:

nemo: NOOOOOOOOOOOO, DORY DONT!
dory: He said it's time to let go! Everything's gonna be alright!
nemo: How do you know! How do you know something bad's not gonna happen!
dory: (pause) I dont!
nemo: (pause) *closes eyes tightly and let go.*

i really really from the rock bottom of my heart admire dory. How she could just TRUST. like that. no further questions asked and just let go. To nemo, he was afraid that the whale told them to let go because it wanted to eat them but to dory, she just trusted the whale(i really think she can speak whale). And this led me to think. If God was like the whale here, wish i would be able to let go like dory did. i realise that i often take things into my own hands and worry that i wont be able to do it-- things like tests/exams/serving/making time for God or even trying to resolve conflicts. Even though God promised that i'll be safe in Jer 39:18,

Jeremiah 39:18 (New International Version)
18 I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the LORD.' " sometimes i choose not to count on it in case i get disappointed or i just simply lack the faith that God will deliver me. But think:

Trust.

that's all God requires of us. why is it so hard? Why do we not believe that He can deliver us and bring us through anything when He has proven himself and time and time and time and time and time AND TIMEEEE again in the bible. Our God is bigger and has control than anything and everything. so we can totally trust Him with everything. (:
