God is doing something.  I have never experienced the level of challenges to my faith and in my life that I am experiencing right now.  I know that my challenges are nothing compared to what some people are facing, but to me they are big.  It scares me that I feel I cannot take anymore burdens but that things could -and probably will- become even more intense in the future.

Right now there are challenges in my life that only God can take care of.  I know I cannot control the situations.  As a human with a type A personality, I like knowing that I have everything mapped out with solutions for every problem, and right now that is not the case.

God is telling me to trust Him; I believe He is asking me, “Are you going over to the promised land, or are you staying here in the wilderness because you are afraid of the giants?”  I know He has complete authority and power over the giants that are facing me, but they sure look scary, and my faith sure seems small.

I cannot see up ahead, but what I want and what I am praying for is that He will help me trust Him.  I am asking Him to give me strength and encouragement in my weakness to move forward, trusting Him, even when I do not know the answers.  I want to be willing to step into the blinding fog – as long as He is holding my hand and leading me through it.
