He is Faithful

As I am preparing my trip this summer,
I am reminded over and over
 that I am so inadequate.
 I make plans. 
 The Lord changes them.
I think I have it all worked out.
The Lord throws a curve ball. 
BUT
Everytime He moves the plans around.
They work out perfectly.
 He is always right.
And always glorified in the results.

 I love this process of learning a new reliance and blind faith in Him.
 It is very difficult but also very rewarding knowing that I have no control over my life.
I literally have laid
 my finances
 my summer
 my future
 at my Savior's feet
 I am just sitting back and watching Him faithfully lead and prosper each part.

So instead of worrying about the trivial aspects of life
I rest in the knowledge that my Savior NEVER fails!

And I get to know Him more everyday
And I share Him with anyone I can.

So greatful for these verses that have so encouraged me in my struggles this week:



Nehemiah 6:9
They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will get to weak for the work, and it will not be completed." But I prayed, "Now strengthen my hands."

Psalm 33:4
For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

Luke 12:22-34
  Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable are you than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
   “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
   “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
