I got news this past week that the doctor I've been typing for for the last 2.5 years is dropping us. There were some files missing (that I never got) and some files repeated (I can't do anything about that) and he's blaming us. So, at the end of the month it's very possible that I will be out of work. I love the way God works, though. I got this news Wednesday. After mildly panicking on Wednesday, God gives me his Word on Thursday. The first instance was on Facebook. A friend whom I've never met posted a quote and scripture about trusting God. I read it, it strikes a chord, and I keep going with my day. In the afternoon, on the radio, the afternoon host reads a quote that she read in her devotional that morning. You guessed it. It's about trusting God. Okay, God, I get it. That's twice now. Later in the evening, again on Facebook (see? It can be used for good) Proverbs 31 Ministries posts Psalm 55:22 - Cast all your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. That's three. Three times in less than 24 hours that God has said to me "trust me." "Cast your cares on me." And the kicker? Clayton comes home from work and said that on his drive home God pretty much asked how much it's going to take for us to trust him. How much indeed? To fully trust in the God who sent his only son to die for my sin. What else will it take? I hope I'm there. Fully trusting and relying on him. He cares. He knows me by name. He knew me before I was even conceived. How awesome is that? He chooses to love me, a sinner so black that I can't even see my way out sometimes or see sin for what it is. I am so thankful that he provided a way out of that sin and that he called me to himself so many years ago. It's time to quit sitting in that knowledge and do something with it. Trust him fully. He's got me covered. He wants to show off in my life and it's time for me to let him.
