Quietness and Trust - Julie True



I have been quiet. 
I haven't blogged.  
Not because I haven't wanted to.  Life seems to get in the way.  I haven't had internet connection in several weeks due to moving.  But this song has spoken to my heart on more than one occasion.  I find myself starting some mornings walking around the yard or down on my knees praying the words of this song will be true for that day.

I have felt God's faithfulness, His mercy, His grace... more than most people.  I can't explain it to fellow believers, much less non believers.  But I am humbled, that my God, would see fit to bless me in ways that wouldn't have been possible 10 months ago.  He has given us a home.  A HOME.  No longer renting, no longer waiting for the change in location, no longer doubting the right from wrong choice.  He led me to this "Dream House."  He moved swiftly and I am confident He did this so I didn't have time to play the "what if " game.  He knew I would doubt my decision and second guess and worry over every detail of this move.

He taught me that when I come to rest in Him, He is able to move mountains.  He is able to do so much more than I can see on the surface.  I just have to rest in Him.  I found this quote on Pinterest and I believe it wholeheartedly and this scripture has meant more to me in the past 10 months than ever before.

 If you saw the size of the blessing coming, you would understand the magnitude of the battle you're fighting. #wisdom #affirmations #blessings         Scripture Art, Be Still and Know that I am God (Psalm 46:10)
It is my prayer that as I move forward on this journey, I will never forget that being still and knowing God are some of the most important things in life.  It is the answer to many of the problems we face.  Spending time with the Father in quiet reflection makes all the difference.

Air1 - Britt Nicole "Hanging On" LIVE








For the past 10 months, I have said, "God is Good."  I have walked through the valley and through the darkest of nights.  But I have held onto that promise.  "God is Good."  No matter what, "He is good."   No matter the situation, "He is Good".  I don't know He allows things to come into our lives but "God is Good."  When faced with a trial, there is a choice to make.  For me the choice is easy, hold on to His promises.  Cling to Him and let Him guide each decision, each day and sometimes each moment.  What have I learned by hanging on to Him?  I have learned that He is faithful.  He is faithful in the big things and the little things.  The lyrics to this song are a testimony to that... 

You see my anxious heart
You see what I am feeling
And when I fall apart
You are there to hold me
How great your love for me
Now I see what You're thinking
You say I'm beautiful
Your voice is my healing

Without You I just can't get by
So I'm

Hanging on to every word You speak
'cause it's all that I need
Hanging on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper I'm
Hanging on as if it were my life
I'm hanging on

And when the darkness falls
I can't see what's before me
Your voice is like the dawn
Always there to guide me

Without you I just can't get by
So I'm

Hanging on to every word You speak
'cause it's all that I need
Hanging on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper I'm
Hanging on as if it were my life
I'm hanging on

You know me better than I know myself
Better than anybody else
Your love is sounding like a ringing bell
Oh, oh, I won't let go

Hanging on to every word You speak
'cause it's all that I need
Hanging on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper I'm
Hanging on as if it were my life
I'm hanging on

I recently read the following quote:
Faith means... - Philip Yancey quote
I think this goes along with Romans 8:28:
