I am learning how...

...to let go and give you control.

It's so interesting how you taught me about faith.

***

Someone very close to me passed out while we were on the phone

We were in the middle of praying (Odd timing huh? lol.)

And I just hear

*Gasp* then *Thunk*

dream xliv (11:52:09 PM):i got in contact with one of the jdsn's
dream xliv (11:52:10 PM):the old one
dream xliv (11:52:14 PM):who's closer to ***
dream xliv (11:52:19 PM):and he said he knows where she lives
dream xliv (11:52:24 PM):and he's going to try to find her home number.
dream xliv (11:52:37 PM):And he'll let me know what happens
*** (11:52:42 PM):okay thats good
*** (11:53:03 PM):im sure shell be fine
dream xliv (11:53:08 PM):is this...
dream xliv (11:53:17 PM):what it means to rest in God do you think?
*** (11:53:26 PM):?
dream xliv (11:53:34 PM):to... have faith that everything's going to be fine dream xliv (11:53:38 PM):as much as I'm worrying right now?
*** (11:53:56 PM):yeah
*** (11:53:57 PM):it is

So I prayed and went to sleep.

And I woke up the next morning with two texts, both showing me that God is alive, working, keeping people safe.

Mmmm.

dream xliv (11:32:40 AM):I think... there's only so much we can do
dream xliv (11:32:44 AM):and the rest is up to God
dream xliv (11:32:59 AM):And like my verse... yesterday? makes sense now
dream xliv (11:33:12 AM):that if... i were to bring people to church, and they were converted to me, I would get the glory not God
dream xliv (11:33:19 AM):*by me
dream xliv (11:33:38 AM):But we can still bring them to Church....
dream xliv (11:33:42 AM):but it's up to God
*** (11:33:49 AM):mmmmm
dream xliv (11:34:02 AM):And I think like, for instance last night, staying up freaking out may not have done anything
dream xliv (11:34:08 AM):there's only so much I could've done

And the rest is up to God.

***

So there are some people that I haven't talked to in a while,

That I would like to.

And there are some people that I want to know what's going on with them,

I want to be a part of their lives.

But I am learning to let go.

It's okay, 'cause God's got all of us.

And you've got those people that I care about in your hands.

***

I'll trust in you God.

I'll be patient, and pray, and listen.

I KNOW. You are faithful.

I will find rest in you, knowing that you've got the WHOLE WORLD

in your hands. (lol "He's got the whooolleeee worlldddddddd...")

Word.
