"Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a shelter for me,
A strong tower from the enemy."
I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
I will trust in the shelter of Your wings."
{Psalm 61:1-4}
"And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen."
{Philippians 4:19-20}
Uncertainty. One of my least favorite words. Overwhelmed. One of my least favorite feelings. These 2 things combined is how I'm feeling in this season of my life. However, add some excitement in the mix and it's not so bad. :) I'm feeling all 3 of these things right now 'cause I get to marry my best friend--the man I've prayed for & whom I've dreamed of meeting for so long in just 137 days from now. It's just so surreal! So, why the uncertainty, you ask? Well, there are so many changes to take place in this very short amount of time. Among the wedding planning, there is getting prepared for a week long mission trip to Nicaragua in just 18 days from now. I'm very thankful & ecstatic that I get to go 'cause I've been wanting to go since I started attending my church in 2012.
On top of all that though is something that really gnaws at me. Money. Or should I say the lack thereof? The thing is I don't really even know how much all the wedding stuff is going to cost or if I really have anything to worry about. However, what I do know is that I need to trust God with my finances. I know I've written this in past blogs & I say this over and over, but it's very true. God is Provider. I'm not. God gave me my job and the money that I have. He's ALWAYS provided & hasn't ever needed any help caring for my needs and will never need help from me. God is God. I'm not.
Trust. The one word that I really need to practice and act upon right now. I need to trust God and the promises in His Word. He cannot fail. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He can be trusted. I just have to believe Him. God's got this.
