I will be the first to admit that I have trust issues. Serious trust issues. I don't trust well or often but that is changing! Spring Break was such a great time of relaxing and digging deep with Jesus. I was determined to get to the root of these trust issues and that I did. What an amazing journey!

I have been so encouraged that God continues to show me just how trustworthy he is. That he has everything covered. That he will protect me, provide for me and guide me along the way. How has he shown me these things recently? My upcoming trip to M3.

I was worried about my housing situation, my job, the money that I need to raise to get there, among many many other things. As I have laid these things at his throne he has simply asked me to trust him and I have been trying to do just that.

Housing situation: our landlord is letting us out of our lease 2 months early so I don't have to pay rent over the summer.

My job: my boss is letting me have my job back as if I never even left.

The money: well, that journey isn't complete but I wake up each day and tell Jesus that I trust him for the $4000.

All the other things: He is ever so patient with me as I pray through those fears and concerns.

Before this mini-revelation that I had over Spring Break, I would try to overly plan in order to compensate for my mistrust. It's really a horrible and vicious cycle. But, as I have begun really trusting Jesus with my past, present and future there is less of a need to plan. I can simply approach circumstances with complete confidence that Jesus will see me through to the other side of it. Talk about freedom!
