Anyone who knows me, knows that I am completely directionally challenged. No skills in direction whatsoever. So when it came time for Ryan and I to buy phones, we bought the phones that had built in GPS... perfect for me, right? Today I was in downtown Pittsburgh, taking my test for PA certification and I was so glad to have my GPS; it got me through all the scary one way streets and city traffic. I turned my phone off so it wouldn't die while I was taking my tests and went inside. Came back out, excited to be done and go home, went to turn my phone on... nothing. It was dead. I charged it just last night, so what was going on? I began to panic. How could I get home without any directions? I started praying, hoping that God would make my phone start working again. No such luck. So I just started driving, praying and praying that God would get me home safely. I thought I was just getting myself more and more lost in the city, then I realized I had basically just driven in a huge circle. Then I noticed the sign... the sign that led to the highway I needed... the sign that God was going to lead me home, but He was going to do it His way. His way requires faith and trust. He was giving me a test, or a quiz maybe... "Do you trust Me?" He asked me. "I trust You." Though I was afraid, my faith in Him outweighed my fear and it paid off! I made it home safely, something I would never have done without Him.

More than anything, I am learning to trust in Him absolutely, completely, more than I thought I could trust someone. For the past month, the big things that I have been most stressed about have been taken care of, answered all today, actually.... and then as a cherry on top of that, God decided to show me why it is worth trusting in Him. He knows what He's doing, and He's got all the answers... even if we don't.
