“So if the words faith and trust could be intermingled, let’s look at the scripture this way: {I have} complete trust {and confidence} that what I hope for will come to pass. Even if I can’t see it, touch it, or hear it…I believe it to be true.” (Tracie Johnson, 31 Days of Faith)
I’m on Day 2 of my 90 Day Challenge. I have to admit that I did eat approximately 4 waffle fries yesterday when I was supporting Chick-Fil-A. But hey, my breaking the rules was for a good reason. Right?!
Other than that, I drank 1 Vi shake yesterday and walked 2 miles! I’m pretty proud of myself.
Tracie’s words above really spoke to me this morning. When I went to bed last night, I was discouraged. Sometimes I get discouraged because things that John Taylor and I want — things we feel we’re called to do — don’t happen fast enough. In fact, just last night I went to bed feeling as though nothing was happening or was going to happen. The truth is, things are happening. When I look back on the last year, I can’t help but say WOW. Amazing things have happened and God has been moving and grooving every day. Thankful today that His faithfulness is new every morning. Thankful for Tracie’s words and The Word in Hebrews. I also have to remember something a dear friend told me yesterday over the phone. She said, “I can’t tell you this enough…you HAVE to trust God’s timing. You just have to.” Meditating on those words today. Believing that if God told me something WILL happen, it will. He is working on the plans today. Right now, as I type. Faith. Trust. Thankful these two little words came back into my vocabulary today.
And, thankful that His mercies are new every morning and His Word is unchanging and His promises are true.
