A Journal Excerpt...

Today is a day of review. Some days I am weary with review but today is not one of those days. Its more of a "remember" review--there is a sweetness to it. I'm sitting at Starbucks, listening to the rain over the hum of conversation and typical jazz music. "Our God Reigns" was a lyric I heard today. Not only does He "reign" but He "rains" too. He is Sovereign and doesn't make my brain to comprehend the future--but to be in constant communication with Him. Peace will continue to allude me if I constantly plan--and according to Sarah Young--always planning is a form of unbelief.

My verses for today: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may life you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. I Peter 5:6-7. "In his heart man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9. "Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will do this." Psalm 37:5.

In the last two weeks I have referenced all three of these verse in conversation--not only to encourage others but in my story as well. I need to remember that God wants to lift me up--in due time. I need to commit to and trust in Him--today. He's not asking about tomorrow--just today. Don't plan--trust. Fight against society and trust.
