Some not so good news! Trusting God.

I feel led by God to do something completely out of my comfort zone!  I'm going to open up the door of my home (virtually) and let you journey with me and my husband as we answer the question, Can you really trust God?

Why?  Well, I must tell you how this came about for you to completely understand.  First of all we are Christians by our faith.  God is our foundation, rock, and provider.  He is who we trust and we are facing a scenario of really trusting Him to provide for our every need.  No, I won't be airing out our dirty laundry.  That's not a good thing.  I'll be letting you in on how we are trusting God and how God provides though.

What's the scenario?  I thought you'd never ask!  Just two days after our son was born Sean got a new job as an Assistant Manager at Kirkland's Outlet here in Williamsburg, VA.  Well, it was a nice pay raise and a promotion!  We were both excited.  All was well until about two weeks ago when one morning he asked, "How was your day yesterday?"  I replied, "Great, and yours?"  He said, "Remember when I told you a strange guy came in our store and was measuring it a few weeks ago?"  I said, "Uh huh."  He said, "I didn't want to disturb your sleep, so I waited til this morning to tell you....What I heard next I never saw coming, neither did he much less their entire staff.  He said, "Kirkland's isn't renewing their lease and by the end of April we'll all be out of jobs."  I sighed.

Well, April is fast approaching and so I've decided to give everybody Christians and non-Christians a look into our real world to see if you can really trust God.  I'll share a bible verse, and prayer each blog.

So, as we journey, I also will be making a committment to remain joyful.  You're gonna do what Alicia?  Remain Joyful?!!!  Trust me, it's not easy, but I will be doing my very best to remain joyful.

Come journey along with me.  Invite your friends...Christians and non-Christians along as I answer the question...Can You REALLY trust God!

Today's Verse:  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all your ways acknowlege Him and He will direct thy paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6

Today's Prayer:  Dear Lord, I don't know what the furture holds for us.  It's unnverving not knowing, but you're God and you don't need my help.  God, help us to fight back with Joy as we journey through these next months.  Make yourself abundantly clear.  Show us what to do on days when it gets hard.  God, we place our complete trust in you!  You're our Rock, Redeemer, Friend, and provider.  Please continue to make yourself real to us.  Bring peace and joy to our hearts even on days when it seems almost impossible.
In Jesus' Name I pray-Amen

Trusting God,
Alicia
