Trust is something that has really been on my mind lately. We trust the food we eat to not make us sick, we trust our leaders to take care of us, we trust our friends with our stories, we trust the bus drivers to get us to where we need to go safely (even when they do get in accidents here every now and then). Trust is such an odd topic and it is something that I have always struggled with. We all have to trust in something, honestly whether we want to or not. Personally, i trust in the L$ord$. However, it makes me think back to church last Sunday. The preacher talked about when J$esus$ asked Simon Peter, “Do you love me more than these?” He asked him 3 times, “Do you truly love me?” ($$JOHN 21: 15-19) I feel like in my life J$esus$ has been continually asking me, “Amy, do you trust me? Do you truly trust me? Do you trust me more than these worldly things?” This trip has truly been teaching me to rely on nothing but the L$ord$. My trust is in Him only. I am trusting Him with my family, with my friends, with my own safety, and with my life, but still sometimes I forget…and I worry…and I know that is when J$esus$ has to once again remind me that He is stronger than any worry or any harm that could occur. I was reminded, for example, the other day on the bus when I met a girl. This is a story that I will treasure in my heart forever and will surely tell it when I get home, but for now I will keep it in my heart until I have more time to share, but I know that G$od is taking care of my family and my friends even when I am very far from home. I know that when I worry I am taking away from how strong and powerful my G$od is. So I will trust in the L$ord.
