Trust

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge HIM
and HE will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

These are two verses I learned at a very young age in Bible Drills. And even though the Bible holds many truths, this one stands strong for me.

Many of you know I was married before I met and married Mike.

He was my high school sweetheart. We were destined to be together forever. Or so I thought at the smartest age of 18 :) Through a series of events and 8 years of marriage later, we went our separate ways. It was difficult for me to be on my own for the first time as an adult. I didn't know where to go or how to act. I had never been an adult before that wasn't married.

I had to begin to trust in God even more so at this time in my life. Even though I had been raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ as my Savior when I was 12, I had had my times of wandering. As we all do. We are human. There is no one on this earth that is perfect. But the more I trusted, the more I could see clearly where I was to go in life.

I've had my share of ups and downs in my life and in my marriages, but my faith and trust in the good Lord above is what gives me strength. I know without a shadow of a doubt that leaning on him at ALL times...knowing he is there for ME (little ole me) at ALL times is my life....well, that's what gets me through. I don't just pray when I want/need something. I pray all the time. And it may sound corny to some, but prayer throughout my day is what keeps me going. Whether it's for someone in particular or for something I've seen that breaks my heart.

Are you trusting today?

Are you allowing God to hold your hand? To walk with you on your journey?

Always know you can trust that God's love is there just waiting for you to accept it. He never takes it away.

I am grateful today for the faith and trust I have in Jesus. Without him I wouldn't be who I am today.
