Walking in Faith

I woke up this morning with the overwhelming feeling that I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing. I know that God called me to this place, for this time, for a reason; but beyond knowing that truth, I just don't know. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying my time here. This week has brought me closer to God than I've ever been; has given me confidence in a way that I've never known; and shown me love like I've never felt. So I'm somewhere in between being completely lost in this new world and knowing exactly where I am in Him. Such a strange feeling!

One of my favorite books is "The Atonement Child" by Francine Rivers. My mom laughs and rolls her eyes at me because I reread this book several times a year-and it makes me cry every time! Anyway...I've read this paragraph at least 3 dozen times but it hit me hard today.

Convicted. Redeemed. On a mission...There's effort, day
by day, one-foot-in-front-of-the-other effort. And trust.
That's been the hardest for me. Trusting God.
Walking in faith that he knows better than I do what's good for me.

So, I'll walk into this town, into that classroom, into a new friend's home knowing He knows better than I do; that having faith in God means trusting Him completely. I'm learning-the ever so challenging lesson: what it means to walk in faith.
