Trust

Trust. Seems like an easy thing to do, right?  It's easy to tell others to do but not always easy to do ourselves. 

Trusting is not something that comes easy for me.  Maybe because of the amount of hurt I have experienced or having to fix problems in my life on my own for so long or because I was never really shown how to trust. I remember seeing how to doubt and to look for ulterior motives.  I was shown how to look for the worst in those around me. 

Since meeting my husband 4 years ago I have been able to begin to over come my fear of trusting people.  He has been able to show me that it's ok to allow people in and to allow them to help.  Not everyone expects something in return.  There are still very few people I allow into my circle of trust: my husband and about five other people. Not many people at all. Even the closest of friends will let you down but God will always be there.

Joshua 23:8   8 But you are to hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have until now.

I have found One who will never let me down!  This past year has been very trying for my husband and I. A lot of challenges and changes have gone on in our lives. It has been very scary and at times has almost broken us but in all of this I have a new found trust in Jesus Christ and the power He has in our lives.  It would have been so easy to crumble and break, to give way to Satan and just throw in the towel.  But through staying in the word and talking daily with God I have been able to hold fast to God.  I know that everything that has happened will all be for His glory.  My husband and I have grown much stronger together this past year and it is all thanks to trusting and standing firm in God.  

I know that there are great and wonderful adventures ahead for us and our ministry. God fought for me when I came to him, He continues to fight for me even today.

Exodus 14:13-14 

13 Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
