Frantic Believing

On Saturday night I had the pleasure to go to Harvest Bible in Rolling Meadows for their evening service. If you haven't gone, it is a big church in a warehouse type building.

During the offeratory(sp?)the woman who was singing sang two words that I swear were in that song just for me. FRANTIC BELIEVING. That is where I am. This is not a place of doubt. And I know that the two words together don't even sound like "christianity". But I am frantically believing that God's promises are true. I am frantically believing that he has a plan. I am frantically holding his hand because I have realized yet again...

i can't do this on my own

I try to control my life. I try to control my children. I try to control our finances. I try to take it all on myself so that no one else feels stress.

i am not enough

I am choosing to trust. I am giving God my pain like he has asked me to. I am giving God my stress, problems, and anxiety. I am giving God my Fridays!

God is doing a work in me

And I am going to let him. I am going to "cast all my cares upon him because HE CARES FOR ME". I am going to trust. And I am going to FRANTICALLY BELIEVE that he will do what he promised.

thats just where I am

I *love* that phrase! I would never have thought that those two words would even make sense together, but they are so true. I would rather have you "franticly believing" than "calmly unbelieving", KWIM? I'm glad you are hearing His voice & continue to cast your cares on Him. Thanks for sharing your heart :>)

Great post!

I usually have a basketful of clearance costumes too but I went on a de-cluttering rampage this summer and the basket was empty. Most of the things, the girls had outgrown anyway. I checked Wal-Mart's Halloween clearance today. Can you believe there was nothing worth having in my girls' sizes? Drats.
