Fully Rely On God

Remember the fad a few years ago when everyone wore WWJD bracelets? My sister used to wear one just like it, but it said FROG on it, which stood for "Fully Rely On God". I thought about this today as I was trying to get some work done.
Today I had to show my apartment to a girl who is interested in renting it next year. I was in the middle of taking her on the tour and talking on and on about all the great features of my apartment when it hit me: I won't be here next year. I've lived in this apartment for three years, and I absolutely love it. Growing up, I lived in a house with both my parents and my sister, and I lived in residence for a year, so this has been the first place that has been one hundred percent all mine. It's decorated just right, and it has a cozy and warm feel to it. It may be small, but it's home.
Panicking over my apartment was just the tip of the iceberg. It worries me that I still don't completely know what I'm doing come spring. I was talking to my best friend on the phone about this the other day, and she's going through the same thing. I quoted Jeremiah 29:11 yet again, and it's such a reassurance. I may be panicking, but God has a plan to prosper me and not harm me, to give me hope and a future. I need to keep reminding myself that God has a plan, and that's it's a perfect plan, and that I need to fully rely on Him. It sounds so easy, and yet sometimes it's so hard!

Yet another verse that I've been running through my head a lot today was a verse my best friend quoted on the phone:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Fully Relying On Him-

*L

  1. Dear Lauren-mary...I know it must be a real scary feeling for you, but God DOES have a plan for you, I am sure of it!

    As far as leaving your apartment that is sad too.
    Bernie and I used to live in a house for 20 years and sometimes I would wake up from a nightmare of having to move!
    When we were finally able to buy a small home,I was not too keen at all about moving and believe me it was a LIVING nightmare when that happened.

    It has been almost ten years since we moved but whenever we drive by the old homestead, I still feel that that the people who live in it now are just plain trespassers I mean, How dare they!...Ha!!

    I will be praying for you this week Lauren-mary...Love Terry

    You WILL have to get a place that will accommodate that Jack-Cat too..

  2. Lauren-Mary:

    Just a "wee" note to say a HUGE thank you for your ongoing encouragment and for your kind comments. You are in my thoughts and prayers often. I was thinking of you again on the weekend when Nathan and I were in Ottawa. What is your home church when you are "home"? What university are you studying at? Lots of questions, eh!

    Be encouraged and FULLY RELY ON GOD.

    Gratefully,

    David

    It was on the newspaper when he saw the watch again. How time flies! 50 years had passed since he saw it the last time. He never stopped finding it during the 50 years. He was too old to remember too many things. However, everything about her was still engraved in his mind and never disappeared.[url=http://www.sunglassescool.com/ray-ban-sunglasses.html]Ray Ban sunglasses[/url]
    Rolex watches are amazing. A gorgeous Rolex watch looks great and stylish. As we all know that Rolex watches are known for its strength and endurance, that's why Rolex watches have a good reputation for so many years. And also you will see the quality and precision reflected in each Rolex watch. So, Rolex is a name that thousands of people had dreamed of.
