Day 27 - Trust in the Lord

Trust in the Lord. Do not be anxious about your plans. Don't try to control your world. Don't compulsively plan everything.

Hum...last night at 4 a.m....this was not happening. I was wide awake and felt the need to plan out my day and think about how all my activities of the day would come together. I'm a worrier and a big planner. Clearly, today's theme is something I need to be working on in my life.

Trusting the Lord is also so very fitting for our lives right now, as we are in the middle of planning our house. There are so many decisions to be made. We don't always know what the best, most cost efficient, practical answer is. It's so comforting to me to know that God is with us every step of the way and will help us through it all. And as we sit down and talk about the financial aspect of the house, it's easy to quickly get overwhelmed with the huge commitment and investment this is. However, once again, I'm so thankful that God is in control of our finances and our future. He will meet our every need and be there for us every step of the way.

I am so grateful that I don't have to be in charge of my life;
I can simply trust You and follow as You lead me through each day.
(Day 27 of The 30 Day Praise Challenge)

What areas of your life do you have troubles trusting in the Lord for? May you be encouraged to surrender these to the Lord today!

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today. She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way. She's realized she can make us laugh. She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight. Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times. Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}. Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}! Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her. She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}. If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them. She has so much energy. Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour. I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle. I look forwa

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally. Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home. ... I could teach some German. But when? ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible. I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
