365 Day Photo Challenge Day 12



365 Day Photo Challenge
Day 12

I'm not going to lie. Last year was REALLY rough for our family. It has been the toughest year by far that we have ever had to endure together. God has really been putting us through a test: test to see how we will endure through chaos. Patience and waiting on God's timing is the key to living a life that's free of worry.

Worry, worry, worry is what I tend to do best. I worry and I freak out because I can't see the road ahead of me and I can't control it. I wonder sometimes why God just doesn't send down notes or little hints on what my future holds. But what fun would that be? How would that help my walk in Christ.

See God wants us to TRUST in Him. He wants us to walk in faith knowing that is vision and his plan for our life is far greater than what we can even imagine. Although I cannot see it now I KNOW that things will turn around because God is faithful. God is still God even in the hard times.

I don't know what the future holds but I do know that I will be pressing on believing for a change.

This picture is something I will cherish for years. I had made this little "love note" dry erase board for my our 10 year wedding anniversary. We keep it in our bathroom and we write little notes on it for each other. Usually it's about a once a week occurrence most of the time but I think it's so important to let your spouse know how much you care for them.

My husband is encouraging. Even though times are tough he knows that it WILL get better.

This WILL be our year!

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
