Trusting Him

Isaiah 26:3-4
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!  Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

The last several months I have looked to that verse, trusting God in all this health stuff that I  have been going through.  There were times, I was so frustrated and discouraged that I kept asking why but no answer just a faint whisper of "trust me".  I've come to realize more and more that there are trials and storms, situations....things that we go through that is not really completely for us and only our character building but for others around us.  It's amazing to look back over the last few months and see how God was using my suffering in my loved ones lives.  I'm almost to the end of this health journey, I think.....  I will have to stent removed on Tuesday of next week.  I look forward to getting back in my routine of work, kids and going to the gym.

God has been there for me with my health concerns, just as he has been and continues to be there for me with other areas of my life.  My step son is in jail again....basically for violating his probation.  I've been praying for his heart to give up to the Lord.  Until whatever happens I know that God is right there in the middle of it all and no matter what there will be good found in the next step of consequence for Dillon.

God continues to be in the middle of my marriage.  There have been baby steps towards each other. On the days I feel sad or discouraged I remember to trust in the Lord and look back in my journal and read how he has had a hand in my marriage over the past few months.

Trusting God is the best thing I think anyone could do.  It is a battle at times living in this world and easy to fall into our own ways but its more rewarding and less stressful if we just remember to give it up and trust in our Lord God.

I'm so thankful that God is always there for me, all I have to do is fix my thoughts on Him!
