Does Self Trust Work?

Trust is a funny thing.

We expect to trust others or hope to, and yet we can barely trust ourselves and our lack of boundaries, bruised heart, needs, desires, addictions, and frail convictions.

To trust oneself takes patience and perseverance. Together. And large amounts of grace. But who keeps the score, rallies the inner troops and verifies the promises? Who’s the gatekeeper? Self? Can you trust that the job of self trust is getting done?

For trust is a funny thing.
