Talking about trust

Trust seems to be my word lately. The Lord is teaching me so much about the idea of trusting, without reservations, without hesitation, without knowing what's coming next. I'm learning, slowly, to trust, fully, in God simply because HE IS GOD!

Here are a few things that have been particularly encouraging to me, recently:

*Psalm 31: 14, 15a "But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in your hands..."

*Psalm 73:25 "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you."

*A quote by Elizabeth Elliot - "The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the 'real living' were around the corner. It is today for which we are responsible, God still owns tomorrow."

*Lyrics from the song entitled "Trust in You" by Jeremy Camp:

When I can't see you - I know you're there. And I can't feel you - I will not fear. I will TRUST in you and I WILL NOT BE AFRAID! When the battle is close at hand, I know you're with me - your help me stand. I will trust in you and I will not be afraid. ...

When the darkness is close at hand and I'm running against the wind - I will trust in you. When I'm standing upon that shore, all the battles have gone before...

We love sushi!

Two of my coworkers and their lovely family hosted a fabulous sushi-making night last Friday! It was a fun time filled with new experiences, great fellowship, and delicious food!
