Trust

I've been convicted, and I'm working on making intentional change in the way I live. I've found that at times it's easy to come to a place of conviction, and for me, it often stops there.

The subtitle of my blog contains my favorite Bible verse, Nahum 1:7. And it proclaims that I am trusting in Him, my Lord and Savior, and figuring out the rest as I go.....

The real (ugly) truth is that if I could show you a pie chart reflecting the anxiety, worry, fear, stress, and trust in my life right now...... I don't even want to go there. Admittedly, I am a bit of an overprotective mom, blaming it up til now on the "first-time" bit. I am by no means incapacitated by anxiety; however, I am at times plagued by the what-if's when it comes to my baby girl and my ultimate lack of control over so many things.

The thing is...I know in my head that Jesus has Emma in the palm of His hand. Loving her and protecting her so much better than I will ever be able to. So in all honesty, I'm just grappling with how to take that knowledge, and really TRUST with all my heart. I think it starts with bringing my anxiety to Him at the foot of the cross each and every day. I'm so broken, and I need Him. Oh, do I need Him.

Fewer things bring me greater joy than being Emma's mom. But here's one thing that does...

She is a Daughter of the King.
