Uncertain Things....

In the past few weeks a lot of things have gone differently than we thought they would go. Life does that to you a good bit it seems. You have things mapped out, planned, and try to make the best decisions you can and then - there is a road block. For me, through all of this God is teaching me to totally depend on Him. I think many times in the past I get anxious, worried, talk to a lot of people about things I don't understand, think and think and think and don't give it to God until...I am at my wits end. The past 6 months or so, God has really been teaching me to depend on Him more and more. He is teaching me to go to his word and read it when I am confused, worried, etc. Not to wait and do it later, but to go to His word immediately. I have done this before as a Christian, but not as often as I need to. I am very dependent on people being there for me. Whether it be Nick, a family member, or a dear friend in times of need...when truly there are times in the past that I should have immediately gone to the Lord in prayer and also gone to His word. So, that is what I have truly been trying to do. To not get all wound up, to lay it at His feet, and let Him have it. To know that His ways are higher than mine and that He is in control. He has blessed us abundantly and helped our family through so many hard decisions, tough situations, etc. and I know that this time will be no different. Thank goodness for God's love and grace.
