'Cause you gotta have Faith!

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1  

L & I have took a leap of Faith when we decided to move.  When we decided we would need to move the first thing that came to mind was fear. 

Fear of not liking our new place, fear of not being at finger tips reach with my family & friends, fear of starting a new job. Oh and did I mention we are brand new newly weds.

I think this year alone, I have experianced more changes than I have in my entire life. Getting married, moving, starting a new job and having some health issues to add on top of that.

Personally, it's been a wave of emotions and at times I just have to stop, breath and pray. I think otherwise I'd lose my mind.

Truthfully, the move was something I knew would have to happen because I love my Husband and it was so stressful for him driving back and forth. Although, I really in my heart knew it would have to happen, doesn't mean I really wanted it.

See, the problem was I was very comfortable where I was. I never left for College nor did I really want to.  I watched all my friends leave and come right back. I felt like where I was had everything I needed, so if it's not broke then why fix it, right??

Well, I know that was my plan, but it is not God's plan. So really, what's the use in fighting it when you know;

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

See, it's this little thing called fear that I allow to take over from time to time. I struggle with not having control over situations in my life & this year alone I can tell God has been working on me with that very issue. I am trying harder & harder to Let Go & Let God, however, the harder I try it seems the harder it gets to do just that.

I have to remind myself I am still being molded and I am not complete.  I just need the faith of a mustard seed;

"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." Matthew 17:20

So Lord, help me move this mountain of fear.

I know on my own I cannot do this, but with the Lord's help all things are possible.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
