Trust
Trusting God in the good times is easy, natural, it just happens. He's taking care of you, so yeah, trust. No prob.
What happens when he painfully rips you away from your church family, allows slander to come against your character and your husband and prevents you from obtaining your new home He promised you would have?
Where's the trust then? Where is the trust when the waves are taller and the anchor seems so far away?
That trust is where it's always been. In the arms of the Father, waiting for you to run to them, soak them up and bask in the warmth of who He is. He gives us peace, we trust Him. He gives us comfort, we trust Him. It isn't easy or natural, it fights against our inclination to always plan ahead, know the answers, prepare for what is coming. It isn't easy, but it is beautiful.
"Our real identity is not in the Sin we battle, but in the Savior we embrace"- Rosaria Butterfield
"Sometimes when you're in a dark place, you think you've been buried but you've actually been planted." -Unknown
"What if... everything you are going through is preparing you for everything you asked for."
"When someone betrays you, it is a reflection of their character, not yours."
What has He taught me through this?
"When you are bitter to teach someone else a lesson, all you are doing is preventing yourself from learning yours. "-CC
"When burning bridges, the one who experiences the most heat is the one holding the match." -CC
"As those who missed the Titanic's departure were upset they missed the boat, give it time, sometimes missing that opportunity is actually God saving you from a sinking ship." -CC
"Being harshly yanked away may hurt in the moment, but sometimes it's just pain from being removed from something that is about to hurt you much worse."- CC
"Trusting God in the pain, brings more than comfort in the moment, it brings a maturing of our faith that will bless your future and heal your past."-CC
"Just like a child upset about no cookies before dinner, maybe God is waiting on a sweet blessing until you've received the nutrients and development you need to handle it." -CC
