To trust and depend upon God in everything is indeed a moment by moment choice. It is my desire too but too often I also get carried away by the many challenges in my life. Thank God that He brings us back to Himself, guide us in His ways and give us peace when we turn to Him. He does wonderful things beyond our imaginations because with Him all things are possible! Thank God for guiding through the changes in your life and giving you peace and joy in Him!<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and encouragements. May God bless you abundantly!

Beautiful thankful heart and I'm thankful that He's given you the strength to make it through the move. You have shared such beautiful words here and in some comments I read. I came here finally because of the comment I read at Denise's was so filled with warm love but I noticed this: "TRUST God"... hmmmmm. This is only the end of February, and your Heart choice to trust God is bearing such fruit already! Now to not depend on self...is a whole 'nother thing but<br />I see you walking in faith more and more! Now it looks like it's letting go of control, and letting God have complete control. Are you sure that's trust? Peace, love, strength, & contentment... as we mature in the lessons God shows us!<br /><br />Love your thankful heart...PeggyPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-76922784357008268032010-02-25T11:30:50.534-07:002010-02-25T11:30:50.534-07:00It is amazing how fast a big house can fill up.
