It's a lesson we all must learn.
"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
What's done is done; what happens, happens. God is still in control. That's a scary thing for me: that God--this being I cannot see, touch, or audibly hear--has complete control over my life.
God walks with me.
I cannot see Him, but I see His trees and His birds. I cannot touch Him, but I can hug His children and feel His love. I cannot hear Him, but His Word is my comfort and my strength.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? " Matthew 6:25-27
The lilies don't worry--niether will I.
Complete trust is the hardest lesson to learn.
The test is the hardest to pass.
But the sticker at the end will be worth it.

Wow chica. Deep and beautiful and amazing -- you are an awesome daughter of the King and you are learning His ways and becoming more and more like Him. All the things I wanted to be able to tell you and somehow lacked the words, God told you through HIS Word. Why do I ever doubt? He is SO able to take you through all the valleys and teach you what you need to know, able to bring you out on the other side even more beautiful and wise than you were before. I'm very thankful.
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart..." :)
Love, love
This is it, Keish. Read it again. Do it. Be it. He IS faithful.
