In God, whom I trust
In whose words I praise
In God, I trust, I will not be afraid
What can mortal man do to me?
Ps. 56:1
Trust. This morning as I sit down to write about something that has shaped my life; something that has formed and changed who I am as a person. I see everything in clarity. In crystal honesty. In God whom I trust. And I trust because He loves. These words speak such honesty and such truth; such strength is embedded within these words. . .I am in awe.
A while ago I was going through a rough time. I felt stuck. Everyday was a continuous slew of worse. I felt like a shadow, meandering down the street looking fine but feeling so . . . alone. You know those days when you wake up and nothing changes; there’s a pit in your stomach and you feel so apart from everyone – the people nearest you; the familiar faces you confided in; the people that trusted and cared for you; even walking down the street you feel encompassed and encased in loneliness. Perhaps the most heartbreaking, that deep inside your heart you feel apart from yourself. Or at least this is how I felt. I felt like David must have felt when he penned “my God, my god why are you so far from helping me?” (PS. 22)
And Then God spoke. Like a mountain trembling in my soul. I heard Him speak and I soaked up the very simple words He whispered oh so quietly, but that hit me oh so hard within my heart. “Why do you love Me?” The answer was already formed in my heart and I cried it out to him. But then in the silence of the room, He said something that broke my heart. “If you love me, Trust me.”
Simple words. Simple Words He stated so long ago. Simple words that changed my world. Simple words that changed my soul.It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Him before. No, this was more of “Jo, surrender your plans and your desire for you life…and trust me to take care.” Trust. It’s revolutionized my being. . . .and this summer has been a product of the amount of trust I have placed in God. Where will I be after this summer? I don’t know. But I do know, that I will trust in God and that all will be fine.
Jo, i totally connected with this blog! I’m excited to meet you and get to know you so much better.
wow i intended on writing about the same subjct….i have a question tho….how did u get ur blog on the site…where do i go to start off? plz help me out its due tomorrow…THANKS!
mmm I had to use my home comp to do this because I have safari and even though everything else was showing up on the screen I couldn’t type in any box but the subject box.
It’s easy.
you log into editor log in and put your pw and everything
then hit new post
(and/or add/edit picture I forget which was first)
then you just roll with it
sorry it took so long to get back to you, I was busy all weekend.
Trust…simple word, but sometimes seems hard to do. It is God that I put all my trust, but with trust comes sacrifice, growing stronger, and more intimately with God. Can’t wait to minister alongside you on the mission field!

did you put the add the picture before you started typing? You have to add the picture to the cache before you can start typing because otherwise it doesn’t show up.
Also you can make it bigger or smaller by adjusting the corner and pulling on it. Does that make sense?
