TORB to God

Patience combined with waiting has been a huge struggle for me as of late. Some thoughts can drive a person crazy and lately I have just been driven crazy with waiting for God to show me and having the patience to trust that He knows what is best. This morning God helped out immensely.

"Continue your love to those who know you..."
"Trust in the Lord and do good..."
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord;  trust in Him and He will do this."
"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him."
"... do not fret --- it leads only to evil"
"If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand."
"I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread."
"Wait for the Lord and keep his way..."

God never fails to be amazing!

Brighten the Corner

"Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,

Do not wait to shed your light afar,

To the many duties ever near you now be true,

Brighten the corner where you are."

Lately, I have been so antsy to leave Collegedale and go into the world to make a difference. This song makes me realize that before I can go do something big, God wants me to be satisfied and be a light where I am. 

Strength

One can never tell which tree has the strength to withstand the storm.
