Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

I admit it. I have a blog addiction. I reads way too many blogs, way too regularly. However, I don't feel too badly about it. There are many stories out there written by people with some rock solid faith. Stories written by someone who is told several times that their baby will die. Stories by someone whose baby did die, after only hours in her mommy's arms. Stories of a baby who has clung to life after 9 months in the NICU. Stories of a family who fervently serves God and takes in orphans, only to have their home burn down. Yet these people hold firmly to their faith and trust God through all of it. It encourages me and leads to to wonder, how would someone get through something like this without Jesus?? How could someone go through the hard things in like without the hope that God is in control and that he holds us in the palm of his hand?? It must be so....hopeless! Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus. To know that whatever happens, it will all work for the good of those who love him. To know that we don't know what is best for us, but that He does, and to trust that WHATEVER happens, he is still God and things are going to be ok. So, if you need some encouragment, stop on over to www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com or www.mycharmingkids.net (or ask me for a few others) :-) I don't mean to tell you, look...things could be worse! No, I only send you here to be encouraged by these womens faith. Faith that in the midst of the worst circumstances, puts all our own desires aside and says, not my will, but yours. I want a faith like that.
