So, my dear people...I know that it is not Sunday, and that I did not post on Sunday, for which I am every so sorry. I must say though that I have a great story as an excuse that you probably would be more interested in hearing anyways. Now to get down to business. Tonight, I was spending time reflecting on what it means to trust God and who He is. I had the blessing today of listening to a group of people that I care about really dig into the "Nitty Gritty" of faith. For many of us, when we hear discussions about God's justice and how He will judge, or who will and will not go to heaven, our ears and hearts become unhearing and callous because we do not want to have to think about it... To be uncomfortable. As I thought about what they were saying I realized that the conclusion that I was able to draw was not one full of skepticism and hardness, but of a thankfulness that I can trust God to administer His perfect justice. It was a perspective switch for me. One that drew me closer and deeper into love with Him... My God, my lover, my King. It took my breath away. I could actually trust Him. Not a superficial trust that depends on what He does, but a deep and enduring trust in who He is. The confidence that He will be God, and will be faithful to all that He says He will do. I would love to hear your thoughts, so please please leave any comments or topic ideas in the comments below!

Oh, Abbey... sometimes our philosophical side can get the best of us. We fall into the pit of trying to understand a Being far too marvelous and wonderfully mysterious for us to ever comprehend. Our nature to control, if we let it, can lead us farther and farther away from His love, His grace, and His spirit. Thank you for your reminder to simply trust God for who He is, who He's always been, and will always be.
