[x] Trust God

And then he commanded, "Follow me." John 21:19b

How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:17 

We've been talking a lot about trust and following God in our every day lives. I know its hard to do, but little by little I can see myself trusting God in the small things and not worrying about every little mundane thing there is to worry about.

The bottom line is that God has carefully planned out each moment of our lives. He knows what events have occurred, and why, and he also knows what is to come. He patiently walks with us, ready to catch us and support us when necessary. He also waits excitedly for the moments that He's planned for us that will make us jump into His arms with thrill and delight!

There are things in my life that, a few months ago, I would have gone crazy over. I would be tearing myself up inside for answers and solutions and basically losing it. I have to say that I've come a long way, or, let me rephrase, God has brought me a long way. There has been so many bumps and scary cliffs in my life recently, but God has proven to me that He has it under control. He is showing me the way step by step. He is guiding me through this life and I would have it no other way!

There may be scary times ahead. Finances are going to get tight (we found out we have to get a new car), answers may not be here for the future but I am praising God for the answers He is already sending to me! There are beams of light coming through the cracks and I can see it! I'm not afraid and I'm not worried! I say, "bring it on"! I have God on my side and He already knows the answers!

Though the cherry trees don't blossom and the strawberries don't ripen,Though the apples are worm-eaten and the wheat fields stunted,Though the sheep pens are sheepless and the cattle barns empty,I'm singing joyful praise to God. I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.Counting on God's Rule to prevail, I take heart and gain strength.I run like a deer. I feel like I'm king of the mountain! Habakkuk 3:19
