Trust

Trust-  confident expectation of something; Hope.

As I prepare to leave for New Zealand in a little over 2 weeks, I continue to find out more about my character. When God gave me the desire to go to New Zealand I was so excited and passionate to do his calling. However it seems that when God gives me a desire I decided to take everything into my own hands. Taking full control is not a good thing, I have no idea what made me think that I could do Gods plan all by myself. I realized my problem was following God, without God. My intentions were good but that does not always make it the wise choice. As I sit her exhausted from working a 12 hour day I can't help to wonder if my summer would of played out differently if I had put more trust into God rather then myself. I don't regret this summer, I have learned alot and met alot of wonderful people but for the future its important to keep learning. I have learned more about trusting in the Lord, I still have alot to learn but when the Lord tells me he is going to do something I need to submit to him. I need to make sure that I don't start running after something with out God holding my hand. I can only do great things with him, so I better make sure I stop being my own adviser.

  Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.   -Philippians 4: 4-7

When i sing this song i am singing it to santan, I believe God will always win and if i remain in him there is no way i could be out of site, like a skysraper.
