TRUST
I lay on the couch trying to catch a few winks before taking my daughter to the doctor. I was scared of what we’d find out but doing my best to rest in God. To just trust Him that this is in His eternal hands. In my gut I knew everything would be okay but at the same time, my breath came fast through my mouth and nose reminding me that I was worrying about something I didn’t need to worry about because as I was telling her, “God’s got this”. Was I lying to her? No. But I wasn’t believing it myself either.

As I lay there the words above began to circulate through my brain and as I repeated them (mostly so I wouldn’t forget them and could write them down later), they still had the affect I needed. My breathing calmed. My body began to relax. My head sunk a little deeper into my pillow and I think, yes, for a few minutes, I slept.

How do we trust God? By breathing Him in and out. Letting Him soak into our hearts and souls and minds. JUST.BREATHE.JESUS.

PSALM 131
New Revised Standard Version
Psalm 131:1-3 :   Song of Quiet Trust
A Song of Ascents. Of David.

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up,
    my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
    too great and too marvelous for me.
 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

    like a weaned child with its mother;
    my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.
 O Israel, hope in the Lord
    from this time on and forevermore.

THANK YOU TEE-TEE and KAREN FOR THE PHOTOS!
