God has been continually teaching me what it means to trust him throughout this past year. In reality, my whole life has been a journey of growth in my knowledge and understanding of the character of God in order to completely trust him. It started with my adoption and the way that God taught me of his sovereignty even in that by showing me that I was "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Ps. 139:14) and that the Lord did "knit me together in my mother's womb" (Ps. 139:13).
The biggest way he has been showing me his faithfulness and trustworthiness is through gently taking me through little steps of faith. Sometimes that is through showing me how he provides for me financially from week to week and other times that is blessing me with unforseen finances for my last semester of college. But ever since I was accepted to the World Race I have continually pushed off my fears of not being able to raise the funds. Again God is showing me gently that he will provide for even the biggest things in my life right now.
His biggest reminder has been that faith is the opposite of fear and the Lord calls us to have faith in his character and trust his name. As I send out my support letters, this is what I am doing. God I place these things in your hands and I wait upon you as you faithfully show me your plan.
