TRUST

Trust is a HUGE (5) five letter word. It is defined as firm belief or confidence in the honesty, integrity, reliability, justice, etc. of another person or thing; faith; reliance

In many trust building exercises, the instructor tells one person to stand in front of another. The person in the front is to fall back into the arms of the person behind them without looking and with careless abandon. It’s a true test.

I’ve always been one to trust 100% unless my trust is broken. Then the walls go up. It takes a long time for me to allow the trust to be rebuilt. Some of this comes from watching someone very close to me being repeatedly cheated on. As soon as it would appear that all was well, their spouse would cheat again.

In my reflection, I thought of my trust in God. As a born again believer, I trust HIM completely. I have been tested more than I personally thought I could ever survive. After being shaped and molded into this new creation, I know to FALL BACK into HIS arms whenever I am doubtful. He is always there to catch me although in my humanness I am not always faithful to HIM. I try to be but I am human and imperfect. I make mistakes yet HE forgives me. Suppose HE put up walls and said, “My child, you have broken my trust, therefore, I will turn my back on you! “ My God, My God! Where would I be, where would we be?

So, today is a day of forgiveness. A time to let go of past hurts, tear down old walls that were built so long ago that I can’t remember why they were built. A day to stop looking for reasons not to trust and seek reasons to believe! Are you with me! Let’s do it together. Through HIS love and Faith we can do it! We can do all thing in HIM!

Psalms 13:5 NIVBut I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me.

Living for the Weekend

The Ojays had a song out years ago called "Living for the Weekend". It starts out by saying,"It's Friday!" (Click link to listen: http://blip.fm/~7cmc5 ) That seems to be the war cry, the closer we get to the weekend.

I went to a funeral today! I have never seen a family more distraught. It was SO very sad. The person passed suddenly. The children were so overwrought with pain that they didn't want to leave the church to go to the cemetery. After the service I was reminded of how precious life is and how life is only 1 breath. This blog is short and sweet. Stop living for the weekend. Live for each moment. As my mom says, the next one is not promised.

Forgive quickly. Smile whether you have teeth or not. Encourage someone. Stop worrying about what can't be fixed or solved. Don't stop living while you're still on earth. Don't give up and die, spiritually or emotionally. Put your trust in God and ......

...LIVE, LIVE, LIVE!! Always Push Forward!


Psalms 118:17
I will not die but live, and proclaim the works of the LORD.
