Ahhh, why is it so hard to let go and trust that “God’s got it”<\/em>? Just when I think I’ve made all this progress and gained such strength… a new situation pops up and I’m overwhelmed. Struggling. 😝<\/p>\n

This fall it came by way of leaving our 2 youngest girls alone while we traveled to a family wedding out of the country. One of them had just gotten her license 6 days prior! Most of our other kids were also out of town. And both the girls had challenging school loads to juggle. So I worried.<\/p>\n

Where was the\u00a0peace <\/b>that God would be there<\/em>? Where was my faith<\/b> that He loves them more – cares for them more – watches over them far more<\/em> – than I can?! Through it all, I was gently reassured and repeatedly reminded He was on duty. Scripture passages, sermons, friends and family sent especially encouraging messages.<\/p>\n

Finally, opening my hands in my lap, on my knees in my closet, I laid it all down… again… and again. I was never reprimanded or scolded. Just loved because that’s all my Father wanted me to do- until it stuck.<\/p>\n

Come to Me when you’re afraid. All\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is well child<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

…<\/i>and it was.<\/p>\n
