This month has been the hardest and best, the quickest yet slowest, easiest and most challenging. Steadfast yet ever changing. A battle has been waged but you best believe we WILL overcome. God is alive and well. He is our father, a healer a friend and our one and only constant. God you are sooo sooo good. God we thank you for your son. We thank you for this new day. We thank you for family. We thank you for your love. We thank you for friends. We thank you for trials. We thank you for you. Lord you know all. You know how many hairs each one of us have on our head. You knew long before we were ever a thought. You know our life and our plans. So why do we still try to plan our lives? What am I gonna wear in the morning? What am I going to do tomorrow? Where am I going to be in 3 years? Will I have a family? It’s so simple yet we make it so hard. If we know God already knows where we are going to be in 3 years and He knows when we are going to take our last breath, then why plan? God wants us to just trust him. Why is that so hard for us? We need to let go of control. Most of us think we aren’t controlling or a planner. Don’t get me wrong, we do need to plan to a certain extent, but God wants to be part of that planning process. For those of us that don’t think we are controlling… Ask yourself this: Do you plan your day out or even your week? Do you get upset when plans fall through or don’t go your way? Do you always have to drive? Do you always pick where you go out to dinner? Do you ask others for their opinion or you just decide? God wants us to ask him about every part of our life. Not necessarily where we go out to eat (lol) but he just wants to be a thought. God so longs for a personal relationship with us. He wants us to be able to turn to him no matter what. God is the one and only constant in our life. He is there through it all. Even at our lowest lows and our highest highs. And those times where God feels so far. Take rest in his hope and love because he is there. He never leaves us or forsakes us. Part of trusting the Lord is trusting him even when those hard times come. When we fully trust in the Lord it makes life easier. We don’t get as upset when plans fall through, and we don’t get as upset when life seems to crumble because we know it is Gods plan. God never said it would be easy to follow him but it will be worth it in the end.
Please pray for P squad! We seem to be getting hit hard from every angle. Specifically pray for healing and endurance. Seth Barnes said our squad has been entrusted with the gift of pain. P squad is strong and we continue to grow stronger through these trials. I can’t imagine doing the race with any other group of people. I am super blessed to get to spend every day with these amazing, God-fearing people who have become like family. God your goodness never ceases to amaze me!! You are a good good father.
