Many of you know that I grew as a PK (Pastor's Kid) and I don't regret ANY of that- I have GREAT parents who live their lives and their marriage as a model that I pray that I can emulate one day. However, for whatever reason, I hit walls and Saturday (and even Sunday- even at the point I am typing this up) I hit that wall. I spent most of both days in tears (and I'm not sure why I was even crying). Sometimes I think I try so hard that I feel like I have failed and let God down. It's kind of funny though- we hear the first part of this verse so many times but a lot of people leave off the second part and THAT is where the trust comes in. I don't necessarily have an issue with trust- it's the waiting that I struggle with. It's the giving thanks in the midst of the trusting. It's trusting with ALL (not just part but ALL) of my heart- not holding anything back (which I know that I do for a fear of getting hurt).
So, in light of that- this card came together easily and was very meaningful for today- I needed to reread and believe. If you have stuck with this long post- thank you and I'm sorry it was so long :)

BEAUTIFUL, Tami!
Thanks for sharing and lovely card!
thanks for sharing...beautiful card and SO true about how we forget the second part of that verse. May God's peace fill your day... :-)
Sometimes you just need a good cry. I've read that it helps release stress hormones to lift the burden that is bothering you. Hugs.
Great card! This would be great framed!

Very nice card!
This is very beautiful!! That is my favorite verse - but verse 6 is also so important - the promise that God WILL direct our path!!! Keep trusting - acknowledge Him - Tami - you are going to be fine!!
Tami thanks for sharing your inner feelings with us and you need to know that you aren't the only one sharing similar thoughts!! Hang in there and never feel like a failure because remember we are made in His image... I will be praying for you... my card had a very similar message today too!! I just loved your card!!
Wonderful card and fabulous post : )
Love the clean and simple look to this beautiful card!!
Great card...and I don't even know cards. :) However, I do know my oldest daughter and know that God will show you His plan in all of this. Just remember: not all that looks good is good.
Beautiful post Tami.
And I think your card is beautiful as well.
Sometimes the hardest thing we do is to be still and quiet enough to be able to hear Our Lord speaking to us. Giving us those words of encouragement and finding His peace within us. Remember His other words telling us to be still.
It is hard to do ( I know because I struggle with it to!),but when we do we really can feel His presence.
God Bless you and may His peace be with you!
I just read this post today. Thank you for sharing it! I, too, am a PK and I know that it can be hard. My parents are great also; it's just such a complex life!
Your card is great!!
