Trust In Your Father

Lately I've been really having to trust in God. I have different things going on in my life that are just really bothering me and I can't exactly tell how everything is going to turn out. Thus, I get frustrated. But thankfully I am not alone, because I have the Lord by my side ALL the time no matter what. And what a relief that is!! It seems like every day I've read my bible recently, he's always telling me to trust in Him and have faith, because every thing will work out for the good. I've had to be constantly reminded of that - and it's such a wonderful truth!
When times like this come into your life, it's always a really good idea to be in God's word. That's the best way for the Lord to talk to you and encourage you to do what's right. Just lay your burdens down before Him, because we can't fix our problems by ourselves anyway!
I know I have covered this topic numerous times on this blog, but I just feel like it is one of the most important principles to having a good Christian walk with God. If you can't trust Him, then how can you say that you love Him? It just would not make any sense. God is in control of everything and He desires for us to have faith in Him. If he takes care of creation, He will SURELY take care of you! Trust in your Father who created you and loves you more than anyone else ever will!!!

Volunteering...Nurse or Music Major?

Tomorrow I begin volunteering at a hospital for the summer! I am really excited about it because I know God has called me to do this...however, I am kind of nervous. I hardly know what to even expect. I'm just praying that the Lord will give me confidence and peace.
For the past couple weeks I have been going in and out of the hospital for TB tests and readings....which has actually been pretty fun to be honest. Every time I was in the hospital, I just felt like that was where I belong. Almost my entire life I wanted to become a nurse. Of course, every once in a while I would change my mind - later changing my mind again back to being a nurse. It's only been the past year I felt like I was supposed to go into music. Now I am not so sure. I just keep feeling that being a nurse is something I need to do. It really didn't dawn on me until recently that I could always have a minor in music. Because I still feel like I should do something with music. The signs that I needed to go into music that the Lord kept showing me in the fall, now seem to be just that God was telling me I should not give up on my musical abilities, and that I should have a minor at college in music. For some reason I think I took a little too far, by assuming that He wanted me to have a full major. I just don't know yet. Once I start volunteering, I should get a pretty good idea if being a nurse is really something I want to pursue.
Right now I just need to pray and ask for God's wisdom, and that no matter what I decide, He'll still use me this summer at the hospital to encourage people in the Lord and maybe even lead some to salvation in Christ!
