Just Trust

I think, one of the major things I'm learning right now, is to just trust the Lord for everything.
I have a tendency to worry, and get stressed a lot sometimes, and I really forget to just give it all over to the Lord and let him work things out and trust him.
A few things happened recently that really helped me to see that I really shouldn't try to do things in my own strength.
One being that I had been trying to work something out, and it kept on getting delayed for one reason or another, and I didn't entirely know the reason why, just that I was getting very frustrated. So I finally broke down and asked the Lord why it wasn't working, and he told me that I was missing a piece of the picture, skipping a step in the path that he had for me, and it wasn't working out cause it wasn't his will yet. The next step for me was to go visit my family in Morelia, something which I had decided not to do, because it didn't seem logical.
It was very difficult for me, just trusting him like that, as I didn't know what was going to happen next, I couldn't stay there for very long, and I basically didn't really have a place planned out to go to next, so it really was a test of faith for me. But I went anyways, I was still worrying, still fretting, and I wasn't trusting completely.
But it was really amazing how it all worked out, I got a ride to the bus terminal, bought my ticket, boarded the bus, and the bus left literally right as soon as I got on it.
If it wasn't the Lord's will that I went, I bet it wouldn't have worked out exactly like it did.
The other thing that happened, was that while I was visiting my family, a few people were going up to the states and I was able to get a ride up there with them.
Everything kinda worked out in the end, quite differently than I was planning on before, but worked out nonetheless.
I really learned that I can really trust the Lord for anything, and that he has a plan and will in everything, and often times, when something isn't working out, or keeps on getting delayed, or something to that effect, usually He has something different planned, or you are just missing a stepping stone, and you just need to follow his plan and not your own.
