In the past three Thousand Moments books and in the soon to be released fourth book A Thousand Sacred Moments, the tagline is, every moment is sacred, even the hard ones. Every event is put in our path for a reason.
The best example I give to people who question my faith and trust in the plan is when I moved to Montana. My husband and I prayed and prayed for a sign to know whether we should move. We would be moving away from a home we had had for twenty five years and all our family was there. We couldn't decide if God wanted us to move and our prayers were not getting us anywhere. It felt like on one hand God wanted us to move but on the other hand we questioned if it was the correct move. Finally we met with our pastor and he told us what I'm telling you...Trust in the Plan. Trust it is what is supposed to happen and trust God will put things in place. If he wants the path the change, he'll do it and give us what we need to get through it.
I love this! It is often hard to trust God, especially when loved ones discourage our move toward obedience. But, when the message from God is clear and continuous, I say to myself, "God loves me more than the people who love me. And, He knows what's best for me better than them too." Saying it over and over gives me the confidence I need to take what can feel like a GIANT LEAP toward obedience. Thank you for your post!
