I'm going to share w/ you something that Natalie told to me....last week she was trying to get her homework done & was getting upset b/c nothing was working out the way she had hoped it would. I'm not sure if it's b/c she procrastinated, she comes by that honestly, but either way, she was starting to freak out!!! So she thought, "I'm going to pray!!" Well in that time of prayer God led her to Luke 1:13- But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard..." She took that verse--Gods word--& made it hers, "Do not be afraid, Natalie; your prayer has been heard!!" Of course that was exactly what she needed to hear to be able to rest. She couldn't get anything else done on her homework, but she could put her faith into action & trust that God would provide what she needed & of course He did!!! She got to school the next day & found the resources she needed & got done what she needed too!! Then she said, "I thought about what we would say at church camp. The dean of the week would yell out 'God is good!' & the campers would yell back, 'All the time!!' & then he would say, 'All the time' we would yell, 'God is good!!'" How so true that all is. We get frustrated & discouraged & sometimes God is our last resort. We try to do things on our own. Let's make sure we go to Him 1st!! What a great example Natalie was to me & I pray she can be to all of us. Go to God, let Him speak His word, & then trust Him!!! Seems so simple & when we do it Gods way...it sure can be!!!
