Oh how this resonates with me. I remember praying with staff before the start of a school day in a little mission school that I worked in in the middle east. It was during a time of turmoil during the uprisings of the "Arab Spring". The embassies had emptied, and our "safety net" was receding. My head-of-school prayed these words, and I'll never forget them, "Lord, we trust in our dollars, and our passports, and the governments that back them, but what we need to trust in at this moment, is You. Help us to trust You." Thirteen years later those words come back every time I find myself struggling in the area of trust, or distressed at my own lack of control. Help us to trust in You, Lord.

❤️❤️❤️ Those safety nets are so, so attractive to our hearts, but God so often chooses to show us that HE is the only net we need!
Beautiful written you took me right there to the little house and the kiddos :)
The house is, shockingly, still there. My dad took me “up Stinking Creek” to see it a few years ago!
