Jesus I Trust In You

Jesus 

I

Trust 

In

You

The Bible tells us we need to leave all of our

fears, concerns, difficulties, sorrows and hardships

at the feet of Jesus our Savior.

We are taught to trust that Jesus will protect us,

love us and grant us everything we need

to allow us to successfully navigate this life here on earth.

And yet to do this, really do this, hand it over to Him,

walk away and move forward knowing He has this, He has us,

is a very challenging thing for most of us to do.

I personally want to try to fix "it". 

I want to do everything I can to make things okay.

But sometimes no matter what you do it may

never be okay. And that is when we are forced to

relinquish control to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Jesus I trust in you.

This is what I should recite from the moment I awake 

and then again just before I close my eyes at night.

Why is it so hard to trust, truly trust that God will 

provide for us all that we need so that we may do all that is necessary 

to live our life in such a way as to glorify Him, bring others to Him 

and upon our death, return to Him for eternity.

Please know that living on this earth is hard hard work. 

It is sometimes difficult to trust, and leave it all at the 

feet of Jesus. It is even more difficult when our world is out 

of control as it is right now. When we are in pain, suffering 

or confused by the acts of those surrounding us it is even

more challenging to trust. It is in these times, these frightening

times, where we MUST trust in Jesus. It is in these times we are 

experiencing right now where we must pray for God's mercy

on our world. Pray for our leaders and pray that people will 

turn back to God. That all men and women will love themselves 

and each other. Our prayers need to be direct and frequent.

We must pray with urgency and determination.

And above all we must trust that the Holy Spirit will 

dwell inside us, that Jesus will never abandon us and 

God our Father will protect us and call us home when

our life mission here is complete.

God bless each of you in a very special way today so 

that you may feel God's loving presence in your life.

I apologize for the ads in the middle of my post.

I am trying desperately to figure out the code to remove them. 

Mama Holli's Southern Pimento Cheese

In Texas we can get fancy and serve this up on special crackers at 

Baby and Wedding Showers,  or we just slap it on some bread while we

sit in the shade watching our kids yell "Mama, look at me!" for the 100th time

in the swimming pool, all while pretending that it really isn't

Hotter than H-E double hockey sticks!

Wherever you are when you consume this southern staple

you will be sure to enjoy it and your hot summer days will just melt away!

Also throwing a cold long neck in the picnic basket will help!
