Seasons of Life...Seasons of Learning

I'm a huge believer in the idea that there are seasons of life that we journey through, sometimes willingly, sometimes not.  I think more often than not there are seasons of learning that go along with these seasons of life.  Sometimes we see the lessons clearly as we are on the journey, and sometimes we look back on them once the fog clears. 

The first two years of our marriage were a time that God was showing me that He is my Provider.  We continually saw God providing for us - mostly financially, but also with our careers.  We both went through times where we were really struggling and asking questions about why we were having to struggle.  Through all of that though, God provided, and continues to provide. 

I'm at the point now that I really see God showing me that I must trust Him and Him alone.  I have to put aside my worry and my doubt, and put my trust completely in Him.  Without sharing too much on the internet for the whole world to read, if you had asked me 6 months ago what my greatest fear was, my answer would have been something that I am now currently dealing with, and amazingly now I'm not scared at all.  God has truly been teaching me to trust Him even with my deepest doubts and fears. 

I've had the same cd playing in my car (no, I'm not cool enough to put music on my iphone) for about the last 2 months.  It's Steven Curtis Chapman's new cd Beauty Will Rise.  While I love the entire album, one song has really been speaking to my heart lately.  If I knew how to embed a song into my blog, I would, but since I don't, I wanted to share the lyrics with whoever is reading this.  Maybe it will speak to your heart too. 

God is it True?
God, is it true that you’re thinkin’ of me at this moment?
God, is it true that you hear every prayer that I pray?
God, is it true every time my heart beats, you know it?
Well, if it’s all true, then that must be you I hear saying, “Trust Me.”

God, is it true out of all things you’re doing on this planet,
Could it really be true that you’ve counted the hairs on my head?
God, is it true, every day of my life, you have planned it?
Well, if it’s all true, then that must be you I hear saying, “Trust Me.”

Trust Me, Trust Me
I’ll never leave you
I’ll never forsake you
Just trust me

God, is it true that your love for us is never ending?
Could it really be true that you’d die before letting us go?
God, is it true that not even death can separate us?
Well, if it’s all true, then what can I do but put all my hope and all my trust in you?

Well, I know it’s true and I know it’s You I hear saying, “Trust Me.”
I hear you saying, “Trust Me.”
