trust

  We've had a rough go the past few weeks:

• Extra bouts of illness and trips to the hospital.
• Air pollution this month: face masks, cancelling PE/Recess, cough drops by the kilo, and hacking around town is the new norm. 
• A friend back in the US was killed in a car accident. We've had to grieve this huge loss while being so far away.
• Our fridge decided to freeze all our food for a few week (a repair man convinced it to stop.)
•   Living in a foreign country catches up to us and we get so tired.

You have your list too; the tough things, the way life goes sometimes without making a lick of sense. In the midst of this, we choose to trust. We take the time to pray for everything and anything, because we know God wants to hear it all. He wants us dependent on Him. So we consciously make the decision each day, each minute, each second, to trust in Him.

He has proven himself faithful, and even in the midst of the smoke (literally here) we see the sun burst through.

Surely God is my help.  The Lord is the one who sustains me.

Psalm 54:4  

Thanks for the prayers and encouragement,
