It’s been a while, how are you?

I hope no matter the season you are in that you are finding rest and peace in Jesus. That no matter what trials have you feeling helpless that you take all your troubles to the One who can do the impossible.

When we have a situation that we don't know how it's going to work out, or we don't know how to figure it out, and all the things are not lining up. That's when we really get to trust God! Yes- we get to trust God, what an honor!

When we are at the end of the rope and we throw our hands in the air and say, "God, I just don't have the answers." Hand it over to God. Give it all to Him. Trust Him. Hope Darst sang it best, "He knows the ending before the beginning." He knows where He is leading us. Our job is to trust Him.

Trusting in God doesn't come naturally to me, I still sometimes have to work it out in my head or try to plan an outcome. But God still has control over my life. God still knows the outcome - not me! I end up just making my life that much harder, when I don't trust Him.

I was reading in Isaiah 32:15 the past couple days.

"Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest."

Until the spirit, until the spirit ... Until we let the Holy Spirit guide us and direct and lead us, that is when we will see the fruit of the Lord in our lives. Even in a wilderness season, God can turn pain into a purpose.

When we trust the Holy Spirit, we can lay down our worries and our anxieties, our own agendas, and trust that God's plan for our lives is way better than we could even plan or dream up!

I know I can't do God's will without His Spirit leading and guiding me. I know enough because I have tried doing it in my own

strength and it doesn't work!

When we trust the Holy Spirit , we are laying ourselves down and surrendering to God's plan.

So no matter where you are at in your journey- you need the Holy Spirit, to guide you in your marriage, in your parenting, in your job, in your relationships, everywhere. We need the Holy Spirit everyday-all day!!!

Try handing it all over to Him. Give every problem and situation over to God today and trust him. Trust him 🧡

Lord, I pray that you help lead and guide whoever is reading this today. That they trust you enough to lay down their own will and follow yours. That every situation that they have, I pray they hand it over to you. That Lord you have everything under control. Lord, let your Holy Spirit be so real to them today. That instead of worry that they will praise you today. In Jesus name, amen!

Many blessings,
