Trust

I hope this post finds you well and encouraged. I’m encouraged today not because my life is perfect or everything is going my way, but by the hope and trust I have in God. Problems, difficulties and trails, I’m sorry to tell you, will come. But, it’s our posture or stance when the problems come that's important.

I’m obtaining my master’s in psychologist and one form of therapy is framing. What’s reframing you ask? Reframing is choosing to focus on the best part of every situation. I can sit all day and sulk and have a pity party just for me. I’m infertile and pregnancy eludes me, so I’m sad. I don’t want to get out of bed today because my life isn’t going perfectly, or I can say, yes, I’m infertile but my infertility brought me closer to God. The hugs I get from my son mean so much more to me because he’s an answer to prayer. My infertility gives me the creditability I need to be able to minister to others who are believing God for healing because I've been there.


I know hurt and pain, but in every bad situation I find peace in knowing God’s ordering my steps. I’m reminded of one of my favorite verses, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will make your paths straight.”(Proverbs 3:5-6). We can’t possibly predict our future, but we can be sure if we trust God he will lead us.



I can’t say a year from now, two days from now, or tomorrow I won't be disappointed or hurt, but I know if I have God in front of me, I can get through anything. I’m praying for all of you. Please join this blog to receive monthly updates and I pray you're encouraged by them. Until next time...joy, hope and love be yours.
