I know it's been forever since my last post but you can imagine saying you're not pregnant over and over. It just gets old ever a while.

I have been in Venice, LA working for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill for the last 55 days. The Lord has been teaching me a great deal about trust and having faith in His plans.
You know, when things don't go our way we tend to start thinking there is something wrong with us. You start to wonder, am I not good enough for "that" in my life? Does God not want this or that for me? The temptation is to doubt instead of trust in His sovereign plan for our lives. Why is that? Why are we so weak and automatically put God in a box so small that He can't do anything to change our minds? Why is our timing instead of God's so much more important to us?

These questions also run through my mind regarding starting a family. Have I done something that I don't deserve a family? Will years go by before God sees fit for us to have a baby? Yet again the temptation is to doubt instead of trust.

All morning I have been listening to music, particularly the song "Alpha and Omega" by Israel & New Breed. What an amazing song of God's power and faithfulness. In the end it's all about Christ! Whatever His plans are, even if it's not in my timing I am and will be ok with. I will close with this...

"And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son."
Revelations 21: 5-7

He is trustworthy and true...that is good news for me today!
