Recently I spoke with a friend of mine about all the issues in my life which I define as "problems." Those issues change from time to time. At the time that my friend and I spoke, my "problems" were my husband's unemployment, my daughter needing some type of after school care, our older house that has been on the market for a year.
Some of these issues really worried me. My daughter was signed up to attend a special needs pre-school near our home, but it only ran from 8 am until noon. We needed an afternoon solution. I toured all of the day cares in the area. Two of them flat out told me they would not take a child with medical problems. One told me that they would have to check with their "corporate office" before they could accept Catherine. For awhile I was devastated and really worried that we would never find a solution for day care.
My friend told me that worrying and fretting over these issues shows a lack of trust in God. If I trusted God, I would not worry about anything. Of course I do not know how these issues will be resolved. My friend suggested that every time I worry about something, I should immediately say to myself "I Wonder How God is Going to Resolve This?"
I know when the time is right God will provide me with solutions. Within a few weeks after my friend and I spoke, my husband got a job, we got an offer on my house, and we found a full day preschool 2 miles from our house that is specially designed for medically fragile children. What wonderful blessings!!
I will have to daily remind myself that worrying shows a lack of trust in God and I am called to trust Him.

He sure is good, isn't he!
Beautiful, Victoria. Now, read
1Peter 5:6&7. Had I not learned to cast my care (worry) on Him, I'm sure I wouldn't be here now.
Awesome blog!! God is always faithful and just wants us to get rid of our plan b,c,d etc. He wants us to go to him first and not try to work it out first on our own. I loved reading this, because it increases my faith and sharpens me spiritually too :)
