Submission. It’s one of those words that makes every woman in Bible study shift in her seat. But what if submission isn’t about losing control — it’s about trusting who’s in control? As I wrestled through Ephesians, I realized I’ve spent my life being obedient but not always submissive. Obedience can come from fear, but submission comes from love, trust, and joy — even when it means surrendering what I want for what God knows is best.

Trusting God sounds simple—until you’re faced with a decision that scares you. I’ve found myself in that space lately: unsure, anxious, and caught between fear and faith. It reminded me of Finding Nemo—Marlin’s struggle to let go and trust the journey. Maybe that’s what trust really is: not knowing the outcome, but believing that God will be with us, even if we get it wrong.

Fear kept me playing it safe, but God’s grace freed me to play bold—on the field and in life.
