A Personal Post, and "Trust in God."

Some personal thoughts from a friend today.

"Trust in God. Trust_in_God. Let Him be in charge, and direct my life.  He knows. He is the One who times life, allowing things to, and not to, work for our greatest good. Look back and see. See the change in our (my) life. See how things line up.

Let Him be in charge.  Let Him direct my paths.  Things will go better when I do. ;) I may not always get my answer today, tomorrow, or even next week. Sometimes it might even take a year. But it's all in good timing.

We will all experience temptation in our lives. That is a fact. We will want to give in to it. We must not. My strength will come from Not giving in, in standing up, and putting my trust in God.  How much stronger will I be, if I can put my trust always in the Lord."

"Trust in God."


From one of my favorite classes this week....

"YOU'VE got to believe." -Elder Holland

"God answers our prayers. He answers your prayers. So don't you Ever give up." -Elder Richardson

"It's important to learn your lessons on your own, before God has to teach them to you. Because when God has to teach you, it's not very fun." - President Eyring


To Trust in God doesn't mean that I will only have good days, never to feel sad or lonely again.  It is not to suddenly be perfect in all that I do.  It is not to be better than others.  It is to move, and act, to hope and trust, to love and learn, it is to try.  And with some trying comes success, others we view as failure.  But all in good time.  The Lord see's where we are, and where we are going and how to get there.  It is Faith.  The fire that is inside of our souls that pushes us with a desire to know and learn. The source of our strength, the well of which we draw from, the breath that gives us life.  It is faith, love, truth, hope, learning, serving, acting... It is knowledge that we are not alone in this world, and that there is someone out there, with us, helping us as we search for Him.

We don't know everything.  I won't understand everything, and I will struggle and squirm, and try to understand.  Like my friend said, "He [the Lord] fills the void that is in our lives, and makes us better than we ever could become alone."  And for that blessing, I am grateful.  And through the good and the hard days, I will always,

Always,

Trust in God.

Love, Me.
