Awareness

Over the last month, I have been pondering.  Not so much one thought in specific but many things.  I have been thinking a lot about trials and tests that we have on during our time on Earth.   While some may seem to be minor and others are perhaps much larger, there is a common theme.  After pondering this for awhile the thought occurred to me that is seems simple.  If we put our trust in God, he will take care of us and not leave us floundering.  It seems like in times when we are struggling that we lean to him more.  Why is that?  Should we not pray just as often during the regular times in our lives as we do in the times of trial?  Or is it that when we are comfortable with life we get lazy and when we are struggling we are truly seeking and praying for an answer to our struggle?  As we bob our heads above water, we grasp for anything and that is the time when Satan can find us so easily sometimes.  If we pray to our Heavenly Father and put our infinite trust in Him, he will throw out the life vest to help each of us in our time of need.  He will not fail us.  Things may not go just as we planned, but will go just as they were suppose to.

Sometimes that trust is hard.  I am a planner.  I like to have a schedule and know when things are happening and when they will be over and such.  I am not always a go with the flow kinda gal.  I like to be prepared for upcoming things so sometimes the fear of the unknown can overcome me.  It is in times of the unknown that I need to put that infinite trust in my Heavenly Father.  I am working on it and it really is an ongoing process.  I have to be reminded that He will always be there for help if I just pray for help.  So I continue to work and push forward.  I can not know everything that will happen but I hope that when things happen I can adapt and adjust and keep working.  I don't know Heavenly Father's plans for me but I do know that He loves me and is always aware of me.  And I always have friends and family that our aware of my struggles as well and can help me along the way.  I love them dearly for it.  I have such a great husband that is so supportive of me and is there to comfort and help me along. 

Good Things
1.  Family and Friends
2.  Faith
3.  Trust in God
4.  It is all going to be okay.

I hope this all makes sense.
