Trust

I was out paddle boarding the other day and I took our little Jack Russell, Millie, with me. She loves to go out on the paddle board! She trots around on the board and likes it if you splash water for her. When we returned to the dock, in order to help her up I have to put her front paws on the dock and then lift her behind up (she is a tad rotund!). She got a little antsy in the process and I heard myself saying, "Just trust me Millie, it will be easier."

Just trust me. It will be easier. I wonder how many times God has said that to me? Leanne, just trust me! I know that putting my faith in God is necessary and he has never let me down. This doesn't mean that nothing bad will ever happen to me but rather that God will provide for me in every way with everything that I come across in this life. The morning after Mikael died I remember lying in bed and calling out to God, "Lord help me, I can't do this!" And he answered so quietly and clearly, "Leanne I love you, I will carry you." And he has; every step of the way his love, grace and compassion has come through. I have never once regretted trusting Jesus. Do you know what I have regretted? The times that I didn't!
