Lauren's Journals in Portugal: Day__?? (passing before my very eyes...)

It has already been one week exactly today...
as I look back, I remember when I step onto the Canadian ground to begin my internship--
I was unlearned, out of the loop, I felt so ...dumb...
I didn't know anything...

I remember thinking,
dive in! soon you will be looking back and saying what was I scared of??
--How quick we are to be scared, anxious, nervous, to fret, about something just because
you
don't
know.
That's why God says, cast all your burdens on ME, I care for you! (i peter 5:7)
God is ALL knowing.
it means just that- He knows all things, He knows what you are facing today- and what is around the corner, dark and unknown.
Trust. trust GOD, that means place all your anxieties on Him, your plans on Him.
trusting that He will bring to past what is the best for you. (romans 8:28)

And we know that for those who

love God all things work

together for good, for those

who are called according to his purpose.

Allowing GOD to put on His shoulders, what belongs on His shoulders,
allows us to be free.
Free to enjoy the blessings of today that GOD has graciously poured on us.

--look at it this way----> Not trusting God is sin.
I have touched on this earlier in another post,
being anxious is not trusting GOD, not trusting God is saying,
His way is not good.

..ponder that for the day-

For those that do not know... this is the beautiful CANADIAN flag!

Fall hitting-- tipping the leaves with beautiful shades of red and orange.

"for everything

there is a season,

and a time for

every matter under
