Cease striving, I tell myself, and then do it anyway. So much of the struggle, I tie to myself, if I can but stop the fight or flee, and just trust & rest. I think some of the most beautiful reflections come from the shattered looking glass that was too dim to really see myself, until it broke.

I have had a long journey myself and had to surrender and trust.I had to learn to let go and have faith that the Lord is walking with me.<br />I feel the change in myself and now can see that he was testing my faith as well as changing my heart.I am grateful today! Though I couldn't have said that in the last 4 years as I walked through my journey.<br />I am happy for you as now you can see the light and move forward.Blessings to you as you have made your journey through the sludge as I say Lol.<br />I am grateful and giving thanks myself.Thank you for sharing.~Cheers & Blessings Kim xoxWhiteWhispers2uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09765496799870197336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-23551657315858410682012-10-15T19:09:18.642-07:002012-10-15T19:09:18.642-07:00Praise to God for His incredible love!

"Oh, will I ever learn?" That's me. I fight and fight and fight and then, BAM I FINALLY realized what I'd known all along. That whole trust thing is a HUGE issue for me. Do you think that happens because of what people have done to us that makes us lose trust and we just carry that over to God? All the while knowing that if we can't trust anything or anyone else, we CAN trust Him? Looking forward to the story when you can tell it!

How credible are faith really is only comes with great trial. To watch God work out details that only He could work out is overwhelming. Trust in Him is something that can only be proven when we HAVE to prove it. How grateful I am that He has answered you and brought to the place you are at now. Praise God!

Oh do I ever hear your words, and I have felt those same things, and seen God miraculously restore and make whole in my own life. I've also seen that what i thought was faith, was pathetic. But isn't that how our God teaches us? We don't really know what it means to trust, until we HAVE to trust.<br /><br />This was beautiful Kim, and a testimony to what God is doing in your life. I enjoyed every word, and the heart that so honestly shared them. I'm especially thankful for the new place He has brought you to through this summer. :)http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.com
