A Test of TRUST

I really think that there is just no better way to explain what the last couple of months have been for us....

A TEST OF TRUST! 

I put this verse on a picture a few weeks ago. And actually this past spring, I worked really hard to commit this verse to memory, because it brought me so much hope.  Then a few weeks ago, I received a text from a dear friend who quoted this verse to me, as a reminder!!  I have been thanking God for TRUTH speaking friends that point me back to HIM in trying times. 

This verse says to me that a man is BLESSED when he trusts in the LORD and his confidence is in him alone. Not in THINGS, or PEOPLE or EVENTS....our confidence needs to be in HIM! 

When we trust in him no matter what, we can be like that tree that shows no signs of stress, but instead flourishes because it's roots are deep in HIM!

I have been working each day to place my confidence and trust in God. It's been s battle at times, but I have to say the peace that abounds when we let go and let God is exhilarating.

This summer has tried our trust in him on several accounts. 

I was approached and offered a position with the school district that we live in. It is a temporary fill and will be part time.  They made me a deal that I could not pass up and will require me to be gone just as much as I was when I was a substitute teacher. I don't like change very well....so this tested my TRUST in HIM. I took the step and will trust that he will continue to provide my every need through this transition. 

Also this year's corn crop as brought STRESS to our Detasseling Crew.  This is a source of income for our family and my husband works long hours to manage our crew. However the weather and nature just did not cooperate for us this year.  The season is not yet complete but it is shaping up to be the worst year yet for our business. This has been another TEST of our TRUST! 

Wednesday at 9 am we have our blood pregnancy test. This will indicate whether the whole procedure took or not. We are filled with all sort of emotions because we have been here 3 times before! We've experienced 2 negative, heart wrenching phone calls and 1 positive ELATING phone call. I can't help but find myself going back to the times of the negative results and remembering the horrible feeling we had. I start to get overwhelmed at the thought of having to hear negative results, once again. We know that it could go either way. We know that God is working something out that we need to trust him with. He's able to see a bigger picture and in the end his ways are higher than ours. 

We serve a mighty God. I can't help but think about what our VBS was a few weeks ago...

"With man this is impossible, but not with God, all things are possible with God.".   Mark 10:27

Anything is possible, everything is possible with God!! 

If you think of us on Wednesday, please pray for peace and an acceptance in our hearts for whatever news we may hear.
