Season of Trust

The Lord is gracious, and he is always doing a "new thing" in my life! I love how we go through different seasons in our lives, and in those seasons we realize a new characteristic of the Lord that maybe we didn't appreciate before. It seems like in every "spiritual season" I have a theme word; in this season, my word is trust. 

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trust in you. Isaiah 26:3

Let me give you a peek into my season....

This is Jordan, my sweet fiancé. Oh my, I could write a whole blog on this blessing (I will one day!)  Jordan is on the mission field right now, in Uganda. He will be serving there for four more months. Many people have come up to me and asked me how I was "making it," or if I was "doing okay." It is only by the grace of God that I have been able to say, "I am doing great!" I have peace that passes all understanding. Here's where the word trust comes in...                                 The only reason I can joyfully tell people that I have peace is because I am trusting in the Lord's sovereign plan. God is in the process of redeeming people and he is using my sweet man to share that redeeming love to the people in Uganda, and he is using me here to share it with locals, and international students. I can have confidence trusting in my Lord to work "all things together for the good of those who love him." (paraphrase Romans 8:28)

This is Discovery Bible Study group. Discovery is an international girls bible study, where we are sharing the gospel with those who are lost and discipling those who are already followers of Jesus. It has already been an incredible journey with these ladies, and it's just getting started! I am trusting the Lord to save the girls that I am sharing the gospel with, week in and week out. The Lord taught me that I must be in anguish over these girls and their eternal destination! I must be broken for these lost souls, and trusting that the Lord hears my cry for them to be saved. 

I will share one more glimpse into this season I am in.

This has definitely been the toughest semester I have had in college! There is one particular class that I have been struggling with, but God is ABLE to get me through this class. I am having to once again, lay down my pride, and trust that the Lord will honor my work if I am putting forth effort in the class.





I am telling you friend, God wants every part of us. Every little, big, weird, sad, ugly, beautiful situation and season! He doesn't want you to just trust him in the big things, but in every situation, even something like an Economics test! (Speaking to myself there. Ha!) Listen, when you trust in the Lord he will bring peace into your life. When you trust in the Lord, you do not have to worry. When you trust in the Lord your faith will increase!

Give him everything today. Trust Him!
