Wow! Life has been busy and very stressful. These last few weeks have weighed very heavily on me and the lack of time to really pray through the things weighing on my mind has been tough. The reality of the risks of the decisions I'm making I believe is catching up to me as well as the obstacles which lay in my path.

On a late night drive last night though, the Lord came. The stars were gorgeous and the road so peaceful. God reminded me to trust in him. He is in control and will never call me to a place unless it is where I'm supposed to be and will bring him the most glory. God has always been faithful to reveal each step ahead. He has answered my prayers in amazing ways.

To begin, God has sent me some amazing love notes this week. Each one brimming with his love and reassurance of my worth. Part of my mental frustration is feelings of worthlessness. Very seldom do I hear praise which is so essential when the world is constantly criticizing us to do better. My prayer was to hear praise...that I was doing something right. In one week, God showed me how I had impacted three lives just by living and interacting. We all need a love note every now and then. God showing us what we are doing right when often we are only shown what we are doing wrong.

The song in my heart? Trust and obey...when there is no other way.
