Faith is a verb

Ok, so I am completely feeling like the father of the posessed boy who told Jesus, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" It is interesting to me that I can know without a shadow of a doubt what God is telling me to do but still question His ability to work out the details. I am a control freak, for sure, and it becomes more obvious to me every day during this time of transition that I have a hard time completely letting go and letting God deal with every detail. I know that God is faithful, but I have a hard time being full of faith in regards to his faithfulness. How is it that I can be willing to trust enough to make a long distance move, but not enough to trust Him to provide everything I need in the meantime?

You already answered that, because you want to be in control. It's all about steering... allow God and the places we go will be incredible, take control back and we usually end up in a ditch.

My frustrations lie in that whole giving it up daily, can't I just do it once and be done with it? Apparently not (drat it!).
