Oh that's a nice thought...

You know...it is one thing to "trust".  But we have been learning a whole new version of trust recently. It seems to me to be less of a "oh thats a nice thought" sort of trust, and more of a "this has to be true" sort of trust.  I know that God will take care of us.  I know that He has unlimited resources to provide anything we need.  Even just this summer He saw fit to give us a camper to call our own, significantly reduce the amount of expenses we were supposed to have this summer, provide generous donations to His work through His people, and the list goes on and on.  But will He provide how I expect Him to?  Many times not.  I am learning that faith and trust do not equal believing that God will take care of us the way that I plan He will.  Instead, I need to trust that God will take care of us...period.  I know He loves His Adam and I more than I will ever be able to understand, so everything He has planned for our lives is for the best.  Can I trust God this big?  Will my faith stretch this far?  By His grace we will walk forward in a faith that continues to grow every day. He is so incredibly good to us.
