Trust

The Lord saith, "I will surely deliver thee," Mark the divine "surely." Whatever else may be uncertain, God's care of believers is sure. God Himself is the guardian of the gracious, Under His sacred wing there is safety even when every danger is abroad. Can we accept this promise as sure? Then in our present emergency we shall find that it stands fast. We hope to be delivered because we have friends, or because we are prudent, or because we can see hopeful signs; but none of these things are one-half so good as God's simple "because thou hast put thy trust in me." Dear reader, try this way, and, trying it, you will keep to it all your life. It is as sweet as it is sure.

I haven't been on here in a while, but was just thinking of you this morning & wondering how you're doing. :) I'm so glad your trip is off to a good start & it made me smile to hear you're being spoiled by that sweet family. You're so giving and servant-hearted, but it makes me happy that you're able to graciously receive when others want to spoil and bless you! I'm praying very specifically for you & looking forward seeing you & to introducing you to Nate at the wedding:) I told him you were my very first friend I talked to when we started courting & how much your words of wisdom encouraged me that weekend at NEXT. That meant so much to me, dear friend! :) :) :)
